    I put a continuous loop on my WBBB so I can either larks head a whoopie or go straight to a tree strap depending on the distance to my hanging points.

    question: new to hammocks

    The bad news is that you will stay sleep deprived like the rest of us!

    As to suspension types, there are unlimited variations and they all work and the differences are simply personal preference. So, start with what looks like the simplest method with the materials you have on hand. After many more sleepless nights of reading the forum, you can change to whatever appeals to you, if at all.

    Oh, and welcome from Florida!
