Does anyone have this set up and know the weight on it? I am thinking about getting this to lighten up my load so what's the weight If you know, Thanks

I am at work and do not have my gear list in front of me, but if memory serves, my 1.1 DL with whoopies, tree straps, dutch clips, and dutch buckles comes in at about 21 oz. Hope that help, I can check to confirm when I get home.

Yeah that goes thank you what I have now is my first set up its a grand trunk sbp and it is somewhere around 25-27 oz I'm not positive so I think that I could really lighten it a lot

I recently switched the stock strap suspension system of the WBBB 1.1 sl for a friend of mine and attached amsteel 7/64th continuous loops at each end, 4ft straps and 6 ft 7/64 woopies with Dutch Woopies hooks attached to the woopie sling and the hammock and suspension system weighted in at apx. 16.3 ounces or somewhere very close to that if my memory serves me right.

You can get the weight down to around 1 pound (or even less) by using Dynaglide whoopies, whoopie hooks, shorter tree straps (check out the whoopie hook suspension from Dutch, it uses Amsteel but Dynaglide works too), reworking the pullouts on the shelf and door (I use light, shorter cord pieces and short loops of shock cord, instead of the stock 1/8" shock cord), Tech line on the ridgeline, shorter continuous loops on the ends of the hammock (or Dynaglide ones) and using a smaller, lighter stuff sack.

You could also try Mule tape for tree straps and/or UCR's instead of whoopies slings. I have not done this, but a lot of hangers do. You could use Amsteel for the trees and padding under it to protect the trees.

This is why I am liking hammock camping so much; the DIY possibilities are endless
