    how do you pack up and unpack your suspension

    Hello every one. I was wondering how most people pack up their stuff? Do you pack all your suspension in your stuff sack with your hammock so its not in a bunch of different places in your pack? Or do you keep your straps and whoppies in a separate bag to keep the sap off your hammock? And when you do put it where you put it do you just cram everything in there or do you take your time and neatly wrap it up? Me I keep everything from stakes to extra rope(zing it) with all me suspension. I keep it all in a sack that's a net so I can see what is or isn't in there. For my tarp, which is a Super Fly, I keep a ten or twelve foot piece of zing it where it gets fastened to the tree. Then six or seven feet on all the other eight tie downs. And they just stay on the tarp so takes some time to wrap them all up nicely so they don't get tangled. Not a real important question just curious. Thanks

    I like to disconnect it, I use whoopee hooks, and put it in the outside pocket with my tarp.

    I use THIS. It's ridiculously convenient, and I don't leave anything behind because if there's an empty slot, I'm missing something.
    I used to be a somebody, now I just camp.

    My whoopies live with my hammock, and my tree staps live with my tarp.

    Re: how do you pack up and unpack your suspension

    I use something similar to gresh, but with only two pockets, works well for me.

    My straps get unthreaded from the cinch buckles, rolled and put in a medium ziplock freezer bag. This goes in my hammock stuff sack. Only takes an extra minute keeps things organized and lets me inspect the straps for damage or wear.

    my straps and whoopies stay together wrapped up in a side pocket of my pack. my hammock connects with a fixed loop and a diamond knot similar to dutch hooks, but less flashy. thanks grizz.

    I am a onrope cinch buckle w/webbing user. It all stays connected to the hammock. In the times where the webbing is soaked from a torrential rain and hasn't dried off, I slip them off the buckles and they go in the tarp bag.

    I'm a slob, and just stuff the straps, the strap extensions, and the hammock all in the bag together. That goes for the cinch buckle suspension the WBBB has and the line/strap that the Traveler has.

    I have lines on my tarp, and I do take the time to coil and wrap each line up, then stuff the tarp in the bag.
    My stakes go in a tyvek bag, but not nearly as nifty as the one Gresh linked to.

    Soooo, since I already have a tyvek bag, and I'm planning on using line/strap suspension on both hammocks, and I should really come up with a way to store the suspension by itself (in case of rain, sap, or toxic oils like poison oak), I'll be whipping up one of those neat rolls.
