Has anyone made the continuous loop in the channel?. So its fixed and can't be removed

For what purpose??? generally you want to be able to remove your suspension components so that you can toss the hammock in the wash from time to time.

I've put one on by Larks Heading it through.

I did a really small loop so I can hang between trees that are close together. I use a whoopie hook so I can change my suspension amongst other hammocks.

I prefer larks heading so it can be removed but I see no problem other than having to cut it off. Just as easy to larks head it and not waste a loop

One advantage of using the loop inside the channel instead of larks heading one in is that I feel it doesn't compress the channel as much, giving the hammock a longer "feel". It's discussed in this thread, I believe around page 10.

Just my 2 cents, YMMV!

I've always been leary about having the end channels be able to move along the cordage freely. It would seem to me that it would increase the friction against the material when getting in and out whereas with a larksheaded loop, the material is so tightly bunched up there would be little to no friction damage to the material. This is just my opinion and not based on any evidence though.

I agree with you. On my end channel hammocks I sew a piece of nylon webbing on the end of each side of the channel. This seems to keep the loop in place and also reinforces the hammock. I have one with this design that has over 300 nights on it with no apparent wear. Again, YMMV, just throwing some info out there.
