Dutch Clips vs Webbing Loop and the Suspension System

[Rowan65]

Like this maybe? Bloomgorge's Elephant Trunks are what I have been playing with for being easily able to remove my adjustable webbing from the hammock. The idea is to keep tree sap etc off my bed.

Where do you get the elephant trunks from?

"two less things to keep track of."

LOL! For me, that system creates two MORE things to keep track of!

HYOH.

Ah! I see, you keep your straps attached to the hammock.
Around the tree clip your done.

I guess it depends on the type of hammock strap one uses.
On my WBBB with just straps I make a loop and poke it thru the sewn loop and insert a stick.
On my SB with TS and whoopies I just feed the tree strap thru the sewn loop.

On my WBBB i use the webbing and buckles... for this setup i use a carabiner because i don't have to disconnect the webbing from the hammock.

on my diy hammock i use whoopies and a marlin spike hitch. because the webbing isn't connected to the hammock i just thread it through the sewn eye rather than use a carabiner.

its all about the convenience. the 2-3 extra ounces never really bugged me.

I use my Dutch Clips 'cause I find it saves me :48 seconds and that is more time I can sit and stare.
Shug

sitting & staring takes energy & that extra time needed
