    I don't always use my LST, but when I do, this is how I use it.

    I have a "hanging" area in my shed that I can keep a hammock rigged for testing or taking an impromptu hang. that's where I air out gear also.

    After a trip, I hook my complete rig (less my tarp) there, open the LST and remove quilts, UQP etc. flip my hammock upside down and hang the quilts over the SRL of the hammock.
    When I'm sure the quilts are dry and fluffy, I rig everything back together but I leave the LST open and fan folded on both ends of the hammock. Then I'm all set for action. Just close the LST, cram it in my pack and take off.

    My suspension attaches to my hammock via dog bones and Dutch biners. I clip the drawstring of the LST (small end) into the DB so that I can retrieve the end of the hammock end, if it should get sucked inside of the LST. I also keep both of my drip stop strings tied to the LST drawstring on the head end of the hammock to speed up the orientation during deployment.

    Yes. With my DIY oversized snakeskin, this is how I do it. On the last day of my trip, I take everything off of the hammock before packing; this helps me out when I get home on putting gear away and doing laundry.
