I’ve been cruising this forum for a long time even, before I became a member. I spent a lot of hours reading threads because I was thinking of trying hammock camping (backpacking, hunting) to get off the ground. So this last winter I sewed a 1.9 oz double ripstop 11 foot hammock with channels, I made a double PLUQ, I could only buy 3/16 amsteel blue locally, which, I did but it seemed a little over kill. So I ordered 7/64 amsteel and I just got it. I have decender rings, climbing rate 1" strap, nano biners, and two big pear shaped aluminum biners that fit my channels.
I was originally thinking to use the pear shaped biners in my channel (give the effect of a mini spreader bar) to small continues loop to descender rings (water break) to whoopie sling to tree straps.
After reading all these threads, I'm undecide about whick way to go.
Some people say don't use rope on rope and hardware on hardware, others are no hardware.
some say UCR, others whoopie slings
So what components would you use for a complete system, that was high on comfort (ease of use and feel using) and safety (wear and support weight without fail to hold), willing to sacrifice some on system weight in my pack for the prior.
Thanks for your input, Chuck
