"DIY gear supply" Polly tree hugger straps?

[Armor Like Fire]

+1 on the Dutch Clip positioning (DAMHIK). It's also best to do at least two wraps with the straps around the post. I like the lighter weight straps, but I'm only 150#. Would go with the heavier ones if I ever bulk up.

Ate you using these Polly straps I'm talking about?

Well okay so if I wrap it around more then once would that make it not tear? Or is it a situation if I'm swinging on a tree or a 4x4 my straps will break either way? I wana rock in my hammock. Don't wana end up in the ground. Ida if I'm in a tree or 4x4 just wana swing so with that in mind anyone know any sirtan methods or straps I need? With no stretch? I'm about 150lbs!

Contact ready strap for a set of the 4400lb ones. Nicely built and no stretch, also not that much heavier.

(1) When the wrap goes around the tree more than once, friction between the tree and the strap, holds the weight of your hammock. Note that Hennessey used to say to just wrap the tree four times with a long strap, then secure the loose end so it doesn't unravel off of the tree. Thus, no loop or metal gadget is required on the far end of the strap, and no side pull is put on the hammock end of the strap.

(2) When using only one wrap, there is pull at the junction of the strap end and the strap from the hammock. To lessen that pull, have the strap from the hammock stay straight where it goes to the back of the tree. Do not have it go to the middle of the tree to meet the loop from behind the tree where the strap has to make a sharp corner to head to the back of the tree. Straps wear where they go across a sharp edge if there is a lot of weight on them, so you can reduce that wear by shifting the loop end away from the middle, to the side.

Plan B: Carry thicker, stronger, heavier, more expensive straps
Plan C: Instead of Dutchware, use carabiners that weigh more
Plan D: Do not hang from posts with milled corners, use round posts and wrap the strap around them several times

So if I just set up to the side of the tree or whatever that will help and also wrapping it around e three a few times and I should be set to rock in my hammock even with the Dutch clips and this 1500lbs Polly strapping from diy gear supply?
