    Ordering new suspension today.

    I'm going to be ordering a new suspension setup for my ENO DN today. Its going to be some sort of whoopie sling setup. I'm a lightweight backpacker trying out hanging. I've already got the hammock, and I've tossed the slapstraps as they suck. My options as I see them for lightest weight/bulk:

    Dutchware whoopie hook setup and ridgeline for $59 and 116 grams.
    Dutchware dutch buckle setup and ridgeline for $52 and 156 grams.
    AHE whoopie kit with marlin spike and ridgeline for $45 and 136 grams.

    I'm looking for lightweight but low futz factor too. I use a Lightheart Gear silnylon tent right now and it is very easy to setup. 6 quick stakes and two trekking poles. Not so comfortable sleeping in though. Just looking for some guidance. I don't want to buy twice if I can help it. Hanging in southeast TN so there are a lot more trees than there are flat tent sites.

    I like AHE's stuff but I also got stuff from Dutch as well. I try to spread the love to all the cottage vendors as they all offer quality goods. As for no futzing around I like the cinch buckle setup few more ounces but super easy setup and adjustment

    What do you weigh. If under 225 the Dynaglide whoopsie slings may help save you some more grams.

    I'm 160 lbs. I ended up ordering the whoopie hook setup from Dutchware.

    First hang on the Dutch hook setup and I loved it. So simple and easy. Nice place to relax during a trip to the creek.
