I have a question for you guys, with the dutch clips, are they used to just hook the strap to the tree, or is there also a way to adjust your hang/tension ? When using speer straps, what else would you need besides straps and dutch clips for a complete suspension system?:confused: Also, what are they made out of?
The DC just clips the webbing around the tree. You would need something like ring buckles or cinch buckles for adjustments.
I would like to use some tree huggers for my tarp setup. I'm thinking some gros grain would be light and useful for this purpose. Is there any thoughts to making the Dutch Clip in different sizes to accommodate different strap sizes. I have 1" , 1.5", and also 2" straps, and the grosgrain would be .5" maybe. Just some thoughts.
I really like the lightweight simple design.
I think DCs would be overkill on a tarp and I would just use a biner. The mini wire gate type would work well for .5". I have thought about making a 1.5" DC but I would think the market would be very limited for it. I'm not even sure they make a 1.5" cinch buckle, but they may. I know Fin had some sort of crazy plastic 2" plastic buckle on his BMB but there is only on Fin around here. I aslo tend to think that If the DC got bigger then is isn't a weight savings over a nano biner.Quote:

Or, if K.I.S.S. is your bag, small SS "S" hooks would accomplish the same thing, and weigh next to nothing.Quote:

I missed the sale, where can I get dutch clips, strap and replacement attachment for my HH. From the tree end I want to use a strap with dutch clips going to the hammock with the adjuster 2 rings or something better. Being a heavy guy the something substantial. Any help?
Check Jacks-R-Better for the Dutch clips. They may also have the straps that you need also. Also Paul at Arrowhead Equipment could help you with the gear that you need. Both of them can be found here under the vendors section.
Tree saver straps in regular and long size will be up on the JRB site in a week or so.Quote:
