Stitching on Tree Straps

[halfastronomical]

OK, I have heard mixed reviews on how to sew these, but I was wondering if 4 Bar tacks will be fine for tree straps? Too much? too little? I am a noob behind the machine, but I am getting some skills by practicing.

I am planning on making LOTS of these for hammock making / hammock camping class this year, and if somebody falls and breaks their coccyx, it might give the wrong impression. I want to get it right and give the kiddies a fine first impression.

Thanks for the help. NONE of this would be possible without HF genius.
