Beginner, looking to learn about mods for claytors
Hello everyone, I'm fairly new at hammockin although i managed to get my claytors out a couple nights on my summer vacay in colombia. I learned alot of things by trial and error, but I'm looking to modify my suspension to make set up easier. I have rencently purchased (online) dutchgear buckle cinch straps, but i'm not sure where to go after I get them. I have more questions..does any one have experience modifying theur claytor?? btw I have one JH and one expedition.
Re: Beginner, looking to learn about mods for claytors
I have the claytor JH and I use cinch buckles. I attached the buckles to the hammock with an amsteel continuous loop, and use 1inch tree straps to the tree. There is a claytor subforum here which may answer some of your questions but go ahead and list them and see what feedback other hangers give you.

The end channels of any hammock are designed to take the stress without excessive wear. As canoebie said, and many others, their hammocks have been in service for many years and do not show signs of being "worn out".
diamond tarp knots and chords
OK, so I don't have to worry about sawing or wear. On another note, another thing that I have struggled with is putting up my diamond fly. What is the best way to do this? what kind of chord do you guys use?? what kind of knot is best for around the trees?
