    BB suspension

    Just wondering what the best solution for packing away wet suspension?
    My BB hammock has the strap type suspension with triangular standard plates fitted. When packing away dry, everthing goes into the Bishop bag, no problem.Whats' the the best thing to do when it's wet? Can I make my suspesion quickly detachable, so it can be packed seperatley. If so,how's the best way to achieve it
    Regards
    Steve

    I store my webbing separately in my stake bag (which is muddy and wet from my stakes anyways).

    Your buckles and such can stay attached to your hammock as they will not be wet.

    I sometimes will just wrap the straps around the outside of the bag.
    Or if they are nasty, then stuff them into a ziplock bag (or 2 bags, one for each side).

    If you're using buckles and long straps, it's already quickly detachable. Just pull the straps out of the buckles and store them elsewhere as stated above.

    Thanks to all,
    just removing the straps seems the best solution
