    I always order the webbing and rings/buckles. Mostly cause I'm a really lazy person at my core and I haven't found an easier suspension method yet, plus I can use my collection of biners and Dutch Clips!

    WhoOpie slings are currently running a very close second place.
    Trust nobody!

    Webbing with cinch - then convert to whoopies!

    Webbing with cinch = simplicity

    Rope (Amsteel!) with tree straps = weight savings over webbing but requires knot-tying for adjustment

    Whoopie Slings = lightest solution of all if you replace the end rope/cinch/tri-rings on the hammock. Adjusting is smooth and simple.

    FWIW, I ordered my WBBB with both straps AND rope. Used both and then converted to whoopie slings. I'm keeping it all, though, since there is no "perfect" solution yet.
