Well, thanks, it is the best I could do with what I had. An interesting experiment, at least !

The netless hammock alone weights 900 g.
My suspension: 600g :
One 22kn ring (34g), 1 Ti Dutch toggle and 70' of 6mm Warpspeed II Samson rope (7,3g per foot, 5,100 lbs avg strenght) and 3 Dyneema tree huggers of 7 foot each (3.8g / foot ; 3,500 lbs breaking strenght) with pre-installed 3/16 Amsteel soft shackles

Setup total : 1,5 kg (3,3 lbs)

I really want to try one of those tree tent hammocks!

First you need 3 trees in a perfect isoceles configuration, and then, whereas it is not a big deal if you hang a regular gathered end, or even a bridge a little higher or a little lower, or at least it can be adjusted easily, here all three attachment points have to be at their exact perfect position to obtain the right horizontal surface, and the hammock has to be in the center. And all this, you can figure out only when put in tension.

Nice setup! I like your suspension rope mod! But I have to disagree with the setting up being difficult. I find it quite easy, actually. Once I find suitable three trees - which do NOT have to be in a perfect triangle: you can adjust the position of the tent to compensate for skewed angles, as long as the anchors are less than 90 degrees from each other. And even then you can use an extra rope or strap as a breast line to pull the suspension line to a more desirable angle - the setup takes anything from 5 to 10 minutes!

Looks like you crushed your Titanium Toggle from Dutch ehh

When looking at the original photo, what caught my eye was the UGQ under quilt. I think I might have a problem with priorities.

Perhaps three Costco Down Throws (CDTs) overlapping in the center for a DIY UQ? Or cut and sewn together. What the story with the burros? Are they your pack stock, free roaming but curious, or belong to someone else but friendly and/or curious? Which ever, they are undoubtedly checking for hand outs.
