I have become a bit paranoid, a month ago I had the sewing fail on the loop of my tree straps. Luckily I have a thick head, so no damage was done *twitch twitch*. I sent away for some Dutch tree straps, which I have no doubt are quality, but my paranoia is getting the best of me. Since switching to these new straps they rotate around the tree when weight is applied to the hammock. So rather than the suspension running straight up and along the side of the tree the dutch clip and the strap slip/rotate to near the center of the tree creating a bend in the suspension. Is this a problem? When I put the strap around the tree I put it into position and pull it tight to set it in place. It stays in place until I get in and then the hammock drops. Very annoying.
