Dutch Buckles & Tree Straps without Whoopies

[pizza]

When you encounter trees that are too close together for Whoopies I found this to work great. Just looped my AHE Chainlink amsteel loops right over the Dutch Buckle.

Lately I've found myself doing the same thing with my tree choices having been closer than usual. It's nice to have that option for sure.

I like how close you can get to the trees

I have a question for you,
I have basically the same set up for suspension with the webbing to the cinch buckle connected to the chain link/bog bone etc. Have you had trouble with water flowing down the webbing, going past the buckle and down into your hammock?
Just happened to me a week ago and can't figure out the deal.
