    Will this work

    I have searched but did not find an answer and does not seem to be an package option on Dutch's site. Can I use tree huggers with a Dutch clip, Dutch Buckle, Whoopie Slings with Whoopie Hooks? Or is this too much Dutch bling.

    that will work just fine, as long as you have a continuous loop or dog bone larks headed to the ends of your hammock (for the whoopie hook to attach).

    That is the system I have in my hammock. It works great! It is a very flexible set up.

    Yes, Thank you I should have included the continuous loops in my description.

    I personally don't see the point of Dutch Clips and Dutch Buckles if you go with Whoopie Hooks. The Dutch Buckle is an alternative to the marlin spike hitch and toggle. The Dutch Clip seems more a component of strap-based suspensions, but you could use it with Whoopie Hooks if you just felt compelled to.

    This is what I use:



    But if you wanted more Dutch bling, you could certainly go with something like this:

    Cool.
    all my Owls have the same set up minus the buckle. I tried to like the buckle but I went back to the marlin spike hitch.

    Thanks for the replies. I realize some of this seems redundant, but was thinking it would give me a lot of flexibility and adjustability.

    SS, This is exactly like your setup on all your BIAS Hammocks, except that the Dutch Clips make it easier to attach and unattach your tree straps since you don't have to run the entire whoopie sling through the loop at the end of the strap every time.

    This picture is exactly how I have my suspension set up on my DIY BIAS Clone. Great stuff.

    To answer the original poster:

    It sounds like what you are suggesting is like this setup pictured above, but instead of larksheading the whoopie sling directly to the tree strap, you'd use dutch buckles on the strap and hook the whoopie over that, correct? That will totally work - and yes, I suppose that adding in the buckles would give you a touch more adjustability (i.e. the ability to lengthen or shorten the length of your tree straps). But honestly, I'm not sure I'd consider the extra fuss of it worth it for that little bit of extra adjustment capability. YMMV.
