For almost all of my DIY hammocks for family and friends I use the old simple steel cinch buckles available from many vendors. I use a multi wrap larkshead or prusik on the CL at each hammock end around the back of the buckle. CHEAP! Effective.Simple,
Check the book to make sure you are connecting the correct end on the steel cinch buckle.
Tinkering IS fun Dutch . You can learn so much messing with it all. Cabin Fever Fun.
