how to use cord with a Claytor

[hang em high]

Thanks for the welcome neo. Anyone know if the supplied webbing (JH) is strong/abrasion resistant enough for ring setup? In all the pics the webbing looks different from mine.
Thanks again.

when you buy webbing make sure is polyester. strapworks has a nice set up for us hammocker already with loop at one end.

Strength is not the issue with the original straps...moisture my friend!
The original straps wick water! So , when it rains, the rain migrates downhill to your hammock (if used on the hammock side of the rings/buckle) and you lay in you hammock bathtub!
If the original strap can be used tree side of the rings. It will stretch allot but I guess it will eventually settle in. I replaced it because it wasn't long enough, didn't have an end loop for around the tree and I didn't like the stretch.

Plenty of threads on here about this subject...read away!

Thanks for all the input - SLS looks very interesting, though, after 4 nights, I am not yet at the ridgeline stage - for the future.

I am planning to run the rope, single, through the sleeve and tie it off with a bowline at the rings. I will give about 8" when under load b/w the hammock and the rings - trying maximize room for lateral play in the sleeve (is there really any point to this - I don't know?)

Those who know their knots - is there something better than the bowline for joining to the rings?

thanks folks - very helpful
