This thread does indeed have me wondering on a great many things. Thanks for all the responses and advise everyone!

Nanok, question on this marlin spike hitch setup that you suggested. Can you...

Hey everyone, thanks for all the responses. I will definitely try switching out the dutch clips for evo loops and centering my straps coming off the tree.

That said, I've tried to double wrap...

Maybe, but I've tried a few different kinds. Maybe I just can't pick the right trees haha. This is what my suspension looks like after I load it up. 185100 as you can see in the photo the right...

Hey folks,

I'm struggling with my tree huggers slipping and moving when I first put weight into my hammock. I've got both WB dynaweave becket straps and some dutch spider polypro (the white and...

Hey there, those are some great looking hammocks.

How do you like the monolite vs the 1.6 Hyper D? I'm literally trying to decide between these two fabrics for my first myog project right now.

Thanks everyone, I ordered some new amsteel to make some whoopies and to replace my loops if they show any signs of damage per your feedback. I plan to rotate my continuous loops and try the Becket...

Pictures of the loops

Thank you for the input, I took another look at the loops and I can't see any actual broken strands.

I think figured out why the Becket hitch slipped. I larks headed small loops of zing it onto...

Hello all, I was just out hanging using dynaweave straps tied to my CLs with the Becket hitch and had the knot slip on me. I've hung like this a few times before and never had the knot slip bit...

Hey there, I have two sets of lightweight UHMWPE straps and I have had both slip down the tree when first getting into the hammock. I dunno if i'm just doing it wrong but my straps slip even when I...

Hey everyone,

Thanks again for all of the input, I really like the idea of switching from a CL to an improved soft shackle. I've been watching a whole bunch of Jeff Myers videos about the use of...

Gotcha so mixed results so far haha. Has anyone had any luck with "breaking the back" of the knot like Derek Hansen talks about is his Becket Hitch video?

Hey everyone, thank you so much for the feedback!

Chapinb, are you seeing the Becket Hitch slip with this webbing more than another type of webbing or are you getting the hitch to slip regardless...

Another vote for the Marlinspike hitch!

I tried larks heading the whoopies to the straps at first but found that using the Marlinspike gave a lot more flexibility / I didn't have to wrap the...

Hello everyone, I have a birthday coming up so I'm looking at getting myself some new tree straps and trying out an all webbing suspension with the Becket Hitch. Does anyone have experience with...

Hello all, how do you determine whether your hitting the lower temp limit of your underquilt vs it's just not dialed in properly?

Context, I've spent two nights outside below 40 degrees with my...

So I'm not sure if I'm a good person to ask. I mentioned a few times to George not to worry about my deadline, and I know his team was hit by the flu. As far as the actual dates, I think I ordered...

Thanks for the pics! if you don't mind me asking, how long ago did you order your SS top quilt? I'm trying and failing at being patient with my order haha.

Gotcha, thanks for the information and advice. I completely get the impulse to go with just straps for weight savings, I just worry that my lack of experience with getting my suspension hung...

To Urduja, still working out the mechanics of this forum app.

Interesting, so are you attaching your whoopies to your huggers via a becket hitch or going directly to the continuous loop?

Sorry about the straps vs. huggers confusion, I should have been more consistent with my wording haha.

I am trying to replace my current tree huggers with a lightweight alternative and was...

Hello all, does anyone have any experience with Dutches new UHMWPE tree straps vs. his Spider Web 2.0 straps? They looks very similar in weight but why would someone choose one over the other?

How much does the quilt weigh?

Hello all,

I've been doing my research and I am strongly considering getting a Loco Libre Operator Series 20 Degree Ghost Pepper TQ but I haven't seen much on this forum / the rest of the...

thanks everyone!

Hello there Hammock Forums,

Thank you all for being such a good source of knowledge about hammocks and all other aspects of backpacking!

I am an engineer and former Boy Scout, looking to get...

Hey folks,

I'm hoping to find a reasonably priced Loco Libre top quilt for an upcoming trip. Definitely open to other 20 degree quilts / non-Loco Libre Gear but I gotta dream right?

Thanks...
