Webbing/Carabiner Suspension
I never thought about it being lazy, just smart... I do weigh every ounce, but well, I guess I AM lazy...
Webbing is so easy. Now converted to HH hammocks that my sons use to the Warbonnet Webbing. They no longer need help hanging!
Line here. If I could do it over again I definitely would have gone with webbing. Line ain't so bad, though, I've gotten used to it and the weight savings is a nice perk. Frozen fingers makes me a rrrreaaallllyyy ssslllooowww knot dummy, though!
I am back to line now .... thanks to Grizz's videos. The Vertrex or whatever it is called ... Brandon's triangle rings and amsteel loop to hammock and short webbing for tree. Using the Marlin spike hitch with a short short piece of old tent pole aluminum cut to about 4 inches.
Webbing was feeling too easy. Going old school awhile ... plus it is terrific practice!
Whooooo Buddy)))) All Secure in Sector Seven
There's a light way to do that now.

I'm waiting on my second BB and it will have lines...the video might get me up to speed before it arrives. I have been in a Hennessey for the last 5 years and have been doing the figure 8 knot with it and tree huggers---so I'm betting Griz's method is better.
