Was wondering if there is a problem with just running the strap through the loop to hold it around the tree and not using any clips or carabiners at all?
May wear the strap a little quicker not sure.

Hey Jason in Tn,

certainly works.
if you need to move the strap up or down the tree for some reason
after its set... it could be problematic if there is a branch or something.
mostly the dutch clip or biner is for convenience - like in the case above.

That is what I have been doing was not sure if I had it right. Been using toggle and whoopies to attach hammock.

Works just fine, that's what I do.
"Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books."
Using hardware just makes set up and adjustment a little easier but it's certainly not necessary.
Hardware is handy if you want to leave your straps attached to your hammock. On large trees it's also handy to have a little weight on the end for swinging it around.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
