I am a total newbie to hammocks.
Is it alright to pull through one loop of the hennessy tree hugger inside the other loop, and tie-off the hammock on the one loop. This way, the tree hugger will self tighten around the tree and prevent slippage. What knot do you use in this scenario? Any problems with this method?
If the tree is small (or if I have a longer tree hugger) and I can wrap the tree hugger twice around the tree, that's fine. I can then use the recommended Hennessy figure of eight lashing. But assuming I have a large tree that the hennessy tree hugger can only wrap itself once around, then my concern is that it could slip down. Does this actually happen?
Thanks.
