This has been ask a million times I am sure, but I will ask it again. If I wanted to use my stock rope on my HH deep Jungle XL, what would be the best way to hang it with out tying a knot each time? I don't want to do the whoopie slings yet so is there a way to do it? P.S. tried figure 9's and they degrade my rope to quick.
You could try the garda hitch suspension method with a couple of descending rings connected to the tree huggers in some fashion (carabiner, girth hitch, etc).Quote:

Well, if you don't want to use the HH lashing, you could try:

Also, these worked great for me for the few times I used them( I used the lighter weight nylon version)

for suspension. I hope the rope sheath did not become too frayed, because if you try the Gaarda hitch and the frayed sections are within the area around the descending rings you might experience rupture to the sheath.
My advice, in no particular order is:
*convert to whoopies,
*convert to cinch buckles and web straps, or
*grumble under your breath and keep tieing the HH hitch.

Personal history: HH Hitch>>>>whoopies>>>>>>cinch buckles & straps
if there is some way to connect your hammock to one of the amsteel loops from AHE- doesn't have to be a whoopie- or perhaps a nano carabiner? ;you could get by with just a marlinspike hitch on your tree huggers (ala Shug) or! sew places into the strap itself, either loops or doubled back on itself then tacked down at intervals. put in toggle and drop the loop over it..or just clip biner to webbing all done!
