I recently change out the stock BB buckles on my BB for some of Dutch's Ti cinch buckles. The cinch buckles are much easier to adjust.

I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
i just tried the cinch-bug and i could not get it to release,i have never used a cinch buckle / bug before and it was a pain in the butt for me ,there must be a learning curve ,i have seen poster that love it ,i am not 1 of them ( yet )
Another vote for Dutch buckles
I can't remember where I saw it but someone had switched out the stock Watbonnet cinch buckles for Dutch ones that had a continuous loop on the end and left the continuous loop on the hammock and just used a Dutch Biner to connect the two. So that way it was easy to store the suspension separate from the hammock. That's the same system I'm going to go with when I place my Dutch order in the next week or so
One of the main reasons I llike the cinch buckles is, everything stays together. I dont have to worry about leaving a strap behind somewhere. They ALWAYS stay together. Loosening them takes some practice, but once youre used to it, no big deal.
No love for Hammock Fan Strap Anchors? Mine are on their way.
I've used both Dutchware Cinch Buckles and the Warbonnet strap buckles. Both hold just as well as the other, however the Warbonnet buckles are a little tougher to adjust.
Warbonnet buckles/straps seem to be as easy as putting on my belt every morning. Maybe I need to post a video since I know something everyone else doesn't?
Either way, once I set my hammock in camp I don't mess with it. A tarp and UQ maybe, but definitely not the hammock.
I love having the straps stored attached to the hammock. Recall hiking through the woods on at least two occasions and coming across a set of straps left right where they were hung. As forgetful as I am!
