    Webbing for me, mainly b/c I wanted to check out the triangle rings, and I normally use biners when I use webbing. I haven't had the BB in the field yet but I go back and forth between webbing and line depending on what mood I'm in when I pack. I'll give the BB several trips with the webbing before I change anything though.

    Webbing for me, or at least I will have it when my new BB gets here! I am also converting my HH to webbing, and of course my Speer already has it....

    I ordered mine with webbing. After it arrives, I hope to experiment with lighter weight suspension methods.

    Line and these for 12g each

    But i think webbing would really be faster and more convenient, i bet i'll be a lot faster with setup than now soon though

    I'd bet

    out of the 160-170 nights I've slept in a hammock that 99% of them found me in no rush to set up. For me the weight savings is more important than the speed factor.

    Line & treehuggers, sometimes add a carabiner.

    Slipped buntline hitch, powercinch or even the HH figure 8 to attach line to huggers or carabiner. Simple, reliable and easy to untie.
