I would also be interested in hearing if there is a better method.
" thinking of purchasing a couple 12" or 15" continuous loops and attaching this first to the HH. I can then use whoopie slings with whoopie hooks which would enable me to keep a wet suspension away from my hammock when packing up (plus provides a permanent drip line). It would also give me the option of attaching my tree straps directly to the continuous loops (one, or both) for spots with tight hangs.
I also reattached the HH prussicks to the whoopie slings. I attach my tarp separately from the hammock but I use these hooks to hang other stuff from my hammock - all my stuff sacks on one end, my pack on the other end.
Cheers
