Sure enough, you all have already been there and done that, this site is awesome! Based on the two threads I've read, it seems like a finished hemmed hammock of 38 x 38 is the target size? I'm going to try the webbing pocket idea and see if I can use my hiking pole to save weight.
I was surprised to see on the fanatic outdoors (or may have been the dead ringer site, they make what appears to be the exact same seat at the exact same price) that the tree strap they use just attaches with a plastic fastek buckle? I was surprised this was strong enough? Anyone have one break on them? Is this all thats needed strength wise because it hangs at such a steep vertical angle from the single tree? It certainly a handy and cheap solution if it holds up.
