I detach one end from the tree strap, then lay the amsteel and rings in the hammock. Then I twist that half of the hammock (like ringing out a towel). Not tight, just enough to keep the ridgeline and suspension in, and to keep the material neatly together. Next I roll from the end towards the middle, but stop shy of rolling all the way to the middle. If you don't leave enough of the fabric that attaches to the sack loose, it will pull the edge of the sack down into it's self, making it impossible to get everything in the sack. I then put this roll down into the bottom of the sack and lay it flat. I repeat this on the other end, laying this roll on top of the first one, then stuff what remains of the fabric that's attached to the sack down. I end up with enough room to neatly roll up my tree straps, with carabiners, and put them in the sack on top of the hammock. Then cinch it down. Takes no time and everything always comes out perfect. Tree straps and carabiners are the first things you need so it's very convenient to have them be the first things to come out.
