    easy on the (arthritic) fingers hang

    I have rheumatoid arthritis which makes it exceedingly difficult to use my hands in the morning until I have been up for a few hours...is there a suspension that requires little to no strength to take down in the morning? I have a 60 mile hike on the AT in early July and really don't want to wait the 2 hours it takes before my hands start working before being able to take down my hammock. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    I would think straps with cinch buckles and caribiners at the tree. Not much easier than that.
    Carry forth.

    I'm really liking the ease and simplicity of Dutch's Cinch Bugs.
