Lookin for a first suspension system to try out.

**bmwrider** · 07-28-2011, 10:05

Ok I my have my terms wrong I want a tensioner for my syspension.

I just got my HH UL backpacker and would like a suspension system to try out, I just want something cheap and easy to try first, I figure I will have to try a few before I find the one I like.
Do you have any sugestions for my first system, I want to try the easy to get stuff first, as I have mentioned before I work for REI so I can get some things from work, we have a very small climbing section in my store so I have some things I can get easy, like nano biners, webbing, cordage of different strengths, we don't have decending rings so I would have to wait for those and would like to try something ASAP.
I would also like to try the systems that don't require modifying the hammock yet, I wouldn't want to make a change and then get stuck with something I don't like.
I also want it to be on the lighter side if I can help it.
I would love any help you can give me.

i put whoopies with tree straps on my HH which made it easy. if you want, we could get together and change yours out before you buy anything. i would suggest not buying the eno slap straps that you already carry as the will stretch. if you can use you discount, i'd pick up the hh super shelter if you have a bottom entry hammock. i always found uq's were difficult with hh's and i can show you why in person.

Bmwrider, just posted ' no hardware SLS'. Before the amsteel came I did some proof of concept w/ muletape which I had, cheap and light. check it out.

probably next week sometime would be good. i'm pretty busy the rest of the week and this weekend.

is your hammock a side entry to bottom?

Next week would be fine, give me a shout at work or text me or something.
The hammock is bottom entry.

that works...if you consider getting an UQ you may want to check these guy's out for a mod on your HH. prior to departing with mine, i got the mod 2 which made the hammock that much more enjoyable. UQ's are difficult with HH's bottom entry b/c you need to slide them to the side or have one that has a center entry with JRB's are the only one's that sell that feature. also, once inside a HH, it's difficult to adjust unlike some of the side zip.
although I prefer UQ's, i found HH's super shelter to work the best with this set up.
