I have been fiddling with my Warbonnet suspension since I got it and I am thinking of making another change. What I am going for is a system that will allow me to adjust the hammock up or down even after it's loaded. The original system using those triangular buckles allowed you to tighten, but loosening was very difficult. I have used whoopie slings and toggles on my other hammocks and I found that once the hammock is loaded and the adjustable loop is jammed up behind the marlin spike hitch, it becomes difficult to adjust. I tried reversing the sling and connecting the adjustable loop to the hammock with a soft shackle, but this caused some friction on the loop and the shackle which would probably cause me to come to grief sooner rather than later. On my last outing, I put the sling the right way around and replaced the toggle with a carabiner. This worked ok, but once the sling was loaded, it bound the buried end so tightly that it was difficult to loosen it. Now I am thinking about replacing the whole sling setup with a simple cinch buckle. Are these difficult to loosen, especially once the hammock is loaded?
Thanks,
Rob
