    Do things differently (that's new - right?).

    Suspension is a whoopie sling on each end with ridge line larks headed to the fixed eyes of the whoopies.

    Suspension and Hammock are separate. Detach hammock from suspension, fold, roll and store.

    Suspension is then coiled in a figure 8 style, secured and stored. Rope huggers are coiled figure 8 style also and stored.

    My support straps are made from spectra with a loop braided in one end, which goes around the tree with the free end through the loop.
    I coil in a fig8 with a couple of half hitches to finish. the free end just pulls out without tangling when I need it.
    My Hammock setup is kept in a venting dry bag.
    I pull out one strap, secure it to the tree, then as I walk towards my opposite tree I feed out the hammock, then attach the other strap.
    My underblanket/hammock/quilt/net are all left attached together.
    I knot the straps to karabiners at the hammock end which act as drip stops
    It means everything stays off the ground, and is quick to set up.
    I like a separate tarp as I don't always set them up together.
    The ground is for dead people

    Me too, It's really a smart way to do that.
