    Rope suspension

    Good news. The first Cabel's store in NC will soon open and it is just 2 miles from my house. They sell hammocks. Good news right? Well I just looked at their web site and saw rope suspension on all the hammocks they sell. Bayer even has an add for a rope suspension kit. How can this happen? Do these people do any research into customer opinion? Well I just remembered I am a Hennessy owner so I guess that a lot of hammock companies just copy what is out there. By the way my hammocks hung from the stock ropes only for the first night I owned the first one.

    I may not be Cabel's favorite customer. Actually I was thinking that would be a good place for a retired person to get a part time job.
    Just had to vent a little after reading HF this morning. Ropes were a hot topic.

    But remember, you HH suspension also included wide straps, short, but straps to take the main pressure. The hammocks you refer to are truly using just rope.
    Has it quit raining up there yet?
    If you prepare for failure you will probably succeed.

    Still raining.
    Forgot about the too short straps. Out of sight out of mind.
