I'm skipping the intro and straight to the question.
After doing my research on a couple of canoe forums with hanging groups and reading the Ultimate Hang I bought an inexpensive Byer of Maine Hammock for my stepdaughter and Black Bird w/Woopie Slings for myself. We will most likely make WS for her hammock.
I'm retired and trying to piece together a system. Next year I'll work on a tarp and insulation, I've overspent on the BB and a few other toys
This question is about Tree Huggers. Here's the question I posted on another site and after all the responds I got it was OK to buy long straps. I have for the most part given up hiking and have become a paddler who likes having a boat to carry the gear.
With the two Hammocks on the way I'm staring to think about suspension. I've read posts about carrying a long and a short set of tree straps or choosing one over the other depending on what size trees one 'thinks' they will encounter.
What's wrong with just buying a long set?
Since I have two sets to buy, what if I buy a long and a shorter set and split up the sets with a long and a short for each hammock that would cover more hanging options?
Lastly, how do ratchet straps striped down work? I hate to give people money for something I already have and hate to use for their intended purpose.
