rigging question from a new member

[neobudda]

Hello all,
Ive been looking into getting a hammock as an alternative to camping chairs for the long road/camping trips that my wife and I will be taking this summer.

After much deliberation Ive decided on a Mayan style hammock. They look really nice, and I can get them in huge sizes with enough capacity to hold both of us (combined about 600lbs)
Specifically this one

now the weak link in my plan is the rigging. I was looking at the atlas tree strap system, but it only has a 400 lb capacity. I'm also open to the idea of making whoopie slings, but the only guides I've seen so far say that the finished products have about a 600 lb strength. I'm really hoping for something around 1000 lbs. not that I need that much, but I'm a bit of a safety freak.

so learned members, any suggestions? And thank you in advance

I'm not the OP. I was just wondering if I was the only one that couldn't see it.

Very Twilight Zone.....Imagine if you will a thread where the OP posts but no text from them is visible......

The strange thing is when I hover the mouse pointer over the thread title in the forum page I can read the first few words of what was posted.

Wow! Now there's mystery. Gotta figure that one out and start posting random threads to frustrate the rest of the forum. And it ain't even April Fools day yet.
