...Any tips or tricks from you crafty vets for a new hanger with a brand new toy?

Replace the suspension.

Then get a ridgeline and spend the time it takes to find your perfect lay. There isn't another hammock out there with fabric as comfortable as an ENO.

+1 on this. Suspension replacement tends to lead to a much better relationship with your new toy!

I (a friend) cut off the stock suspension and put on whoopie slings, also took the compressor strap off with a thread cutter.. just a piece of fabric w/ end channels and whoopies.. weights CONSIDERABLY less now..

Forgot something. I also took off the compression strap, however I did it very carefully with a set of scissors.

well feel free to cut off the rope int he channels and wrap your whoopies on the ends and you'll be rocking and rolling. I absolutely love this hammock and now the weight is reasonable.

for now just enjoy the dang thing and worry about all the shiny stuff later. no really replace the suspension.

Congratulations on the new Doublenest. Ditto what the others have said...replace the suspension. Then get out and and enjoy it's comforts.

I'm looking to replace my suspension but its not that bad. Unless I was going on a long backpacking trip the weight isn't that bad

its not just about the weight... its simplicitly... The abitly to raise your head, or foot end in about a second, with out undoing, or hooking, or dealing with knots is worth is worth its weight in gold... I would trade out the stock suspension for something like a whoopie sling even it wieghed more..
