So, I may have jumped the gun a little on some tree straps, and I'd like a few opinions if possible.
I have just finished constructing two 5' tree huggers from 1.5" polyester webbing I bought at strapworks. I did not put loops in both ends, because I am figuring to use a MSH on the free end after passing it through the loop.
First question: Should I sew a loop on the other end of the straps for possible extender use in the future? This obviously would shorten the straps by approximately 5".
Second Question: For the MSH, does it need to be "neat", as in no puckers in the webbing around the knot? 1.5" webbing is not exactly the most flexible for tying knots
Third Question: The webbing suspension on my WBBB has been replaced with whoopies. Should I simply make some longer tree straps using the webbing from the BB, or should I use it to make extenders for the 1.5" webbing?
I'm using a simple .25" aluminum dowel I cut for toggles until I get used to the whoopie/ MSH style. I have not hung with this suspension yet in the woods, only in my basement, so I have a slight bit of adjusting to do this weekend in the woods.
