Backpacking suspension help

Dutch sells it here...

And here is how it works for your lightweight suspension (George is using poly tree huggers in the video. You would just use the Kevlar tree huggers or straps-also available from Dutch).

Add a light weight continuous loop on hammock and use a becket hitch or Jbend or slip knot to hold suspension. I show slip knot method in my YouTube video Carolina Red Hammock Suspension.
And you can use a marlin spike hitch and toggle to attach Kevlar to continuous loop. Good luck--lots of choices!

Thanks I will go check out your video

but that benefit has been reduced by the introduction of lightweight Dynema webbing which CAN be used with buckles and other stuff.

Thanks something new to go Google

I like 2.2 kevlar straps w/ adutchables. Attach directly to hammock cl with jbend. I like adutchables for fine tuning at the tree.

Is Dynaglide that much lighter than Amsteel Blue?

It works out to be just about half the weight and half the bulk.

The lightest I've found is Kevlar straps (from Dutch), Dynaglide Whoopies, Dutch Whoopie hook, Dynaglide continuous loop on the hammock. A stick for the Marlin spike.

This allows for quick removal

Quick easy removal when I've got a long day of hiking in front of me is definitely important also coming into Camp Dead Tired quick and easy put up with no thinking is also a need

I am very happy with Dutch Kevlar straps, direct to amsteel or Dynaglide continuous loops (depending on the hammock). I skip the mule tape simply because it doesn't add anything to the setup, though I do carry six foot Amsteel dog bones.

Would this work safely and is it my lightest option I am 5"4" 145lbs if that matters

Dutch's dyneema straps are also super light.
