    I use a very similar setup on my Dutchware NylonD, only with 15" Amsteel Continuous Loops and Dutchware 12' Polyester Tree Straps. I find it faster to set up and easier to adjust than Cinch Buckles,...

    I spent the few extra dollars for an 11' NylonD and I have to say I was genuinely surprised. The fabric is softer and more pleasant than the ENOs, Yukons and other hammocks I've handled. There was...

    You could just as easily Lark's Head carabiners on 15" Amsteel Continuous Loops and then thread them through the end channels of your hammock. Much lighter, simpler and less bulky.

    If you can learn to tie a Marlin Spike Hitch, Dutchware sells 12' Polyester tree straps for half the money and half the weight. If you already have the Atlas straps, have fun.

    I know the feeling. I went back and forth for weeks until I finally ordered an 11' NylonD in Olive. A snowstorm delayed it another day in shipping but it should be there when I get home. <crosses...

    Does Polyester's firmness lead to any additional tendency to form ridges or pressure lines, or does it simply not conform as much to body shape?

    Also, I'm a little worried about the <1.6oz...

    I've slept in 60 degree weather just laying my sleeping bag inside the hammock, about 4 feet from the bed of coals left over from the campfire. I actually got hot enough that I had to open up the...

    I appreciate the helpful responses. I would prefer to use the channel simply because I don't want to change the lay of the hammock, nor lose that little bit of length.

    Why couldn't you just wrap the line around the hook and secure it with a slipped half-hitch? Dutch could even put a small groove in the bottom to help it hold.
