So what I normally do is put the webbing around the tree, then tie a square knot then double up both pieces of webbing and tie an overhand with a bite (slip knot) and this worked great.
But I'm wondering if I want to maximize the webbing wouldn't it be better to: 1) Loop it around the tree
2) Tie a bowline knot to secure it tightly to the tree.
3) Create a bite with the remaining longer length again using an overhand knot (slip knot).
Or ... some other method?
Asking as I'm headed to Yosemite with 2 10' pieces of webbing in addition to my Hennessy Hammock Deep Jungle XL and figuring trees might be a bit sparse especially at altitudes above 8,000'. The included cord on the Hennessy is pretty frickin long and using a single ring suspension system if it matters.
