    Wanting a new Suspension Sys for my HH

    I have a Hennessy Explorer Deluxe and have been using the default suspension system that came with it, the webbing straps around the trees. I want something easier and quicker. I also hate how the straps tend to slide or fall down the trees sometimes... My friend has an ENO and has the Atlas straps, just loops the strap through itself tight against the tree, but I know this casues alot of stress on that one part, but I'm assuming it's ok for them. Anyway then he use's two carabiners to attach the ends.

    I've seen the set-up with the four descending rings and using a biner, but what rope/straps?

    Idk just needing some suggestions/insight.

    Wanting simple, quick, and easy just like my first wife

    On the dutch clip, is that camo rope/strap provided with them? Or you purchase it separate?

    browse through his site carefully... I believe there are various options. I think I bought 6' tree huggers with dutch clip plus 6' whoopee slings with dutch hooks. Some will get different colors for head and foot ends to be able to easily tell them apart.

    Dutch has come cool options, browse for the ones for Hennessey Hammocks. I've got to tell you that nothing, to me thus far, is more convenient than a set of buckles on a continuous loop that is larksheaded to the hammock, with a dutch clip and strap on each end. Between my dutch straps and dutch clips and warbonnet buckles straps and biners I'm set. My whole family has one of these super simple buckle and strap systems, each super easy to adjust and set up. Hope you find what you seek for simplicity.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    Better yet get two descender rings and clove hitch them to the stock suspension just past the hood. Tie a half hitch keeper on the clove hitch. Now you have a drip ring and can either larks head a whoopie to it if you are a masochist.

    If you want fast and easy get some long 1 in straps, a buckle and either Dutch clips or carabiners to close the loop. Put the buckle as close as possible to the rings with a short continuous loop. Use the strap and buckle by flipping the strap around the tree, hook the Dutch clip or snap the biner and adjust length at the buckle. No muss, no fuss, no warranty issues, no loose hardware. Faster and easier to use than anything else except maybe Atlas straps where it is about the same. OTOH it's more adjustable.
    YMMV

    HYOH

    Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)

    I bought straps from AHE with the loops sewn in. I sewed in the Dutch tree hook so I wouldn't lose track of it. I've already posted photo of my CL/Ring set up to you previously. I liked the AHE straps because I could get them whatever length I wanted and the price was nice. PGib is a good guy to work with. He'll do ya right. Photo below.....
