I have the cheap gearguide hammock and it came with ropes and a S hook. I gather from reading on here straps/webbing is better. Not sure why though
Would these straps work for securing the end of a hammock?

Also they have these Loop straps which I thought might work on the end of the hammock. No sewing to do :) Just run the loop in thru and pull tight (this would replace the rope in the end where the S hook attaches.

Not sure they are long enough though.
This leads to another question should that be 2 different pcs of straps/webbing or is one pc ok.
Are these straps the same as what most people use? If not what is the differences?
Also Risk talks about straps/webbing he got a Wal Mart. Does that strap/webbing work as well as anything else. It may be a little a more expensive but you have it quickly.
