    I use knots that are tied ONE TIME and then you never have to tie them again. YouTube videos Grapplers Hitch and Phantom Grappler suspension. Im guessing hardware is more expensive and faster setup and takedown. I prefer knots and use 1/8 AmSteel on everything except tarp side guy lines. Good luck 1fatalZ28.

    +1 on phantom's ONE-TIME knots, i actually use knots in my setup in lieu of hardwares when i can. Dutch's whoopie hooks are revolutionary, and hes got a lot more to offer than just those. i just dropped $130 at his store, and i gotta pretty much do it again because there's so much great gear options on his site. he'll do custom work for ya if you notify him.

    I just started using the Marlin Spike Hitch this year and I love it. It's easy and fast. I use a piece of fiberglass tent pole for my spike. I had a few short peices lying around after making a pole mod for my tarp. The nice thing is that the knot takes the weight instead of the toggles, so the toggles don't need to be very strong.

    Using Camp Nano 22s as superstrong, reasonably light, cost-effective option. Much better reviews than their predecessors, the 23

    1fatalZ28,

    Here are some options for connecting your whoopies to your tree straps.....
    -Dutch Whoopie Hook Suspension (you either have to buy a whoopie sling with a dutch whoopie hook already attached, or you will have to modify your existing whoopie sling. If you are not comfortable with splicing rope, you will have to buy new slings from Dutch)

    -Tie a marlin spike hitch with a toggle (found stick or permanent hardware) and loop the adjustable end of your whoopie sling around the toggle. (rope goes on the knot, not on the toggle.) (works with what you already have)

    -Use Dutch Biners (19.34g for both). Dutch Biners are a pretty light option and are rated for a little more weight than the 8g DD biners. (works with what you already have)

    -Dutch Cinch Bugs (have to buy straps attached to the cinch bugs)

    -Dutch Buckle (works with what you already have)

    -DD superlight karabiners (rated for 880lbs, 8g each)

    -Full rated climbing carabiners are always an option, but most prefer to use something a little lighter. The camp nano's work great, or you could go a tiny bit lighter with the Edelrid 19g biners.

    -Soft shackles are another option

    Lots of options and everybody has a different opinion and a different way of doing things. I try to use as little hardware as possible while still having good usability, so I use the dutch whoopie hook suspension. The whoopie hook makes it easy to take my suspension off of the hammock so I can pack it separate from the hammock when wet. I don't use a carabiner or a dutch clip at the tree. I just wrap the strap around the tree and run the full length of the suspension through the sewn loop in the strap.

    Hope this helps you out.

    I use a marlin spike setup, with the 'marlin spikes' made from a couple of 3" pieces of aluminum arrow shaft. Light, cheap and indestructible.

    You can either tie marlin spike hitches with your tree straps or, if your tree straps have pre-made loops in them, you simply link the tree strap loop through your hammock's continuous loop by sticking the 'marlin spike' through the two loops.
