Simple Hammock Suspension And Tarp

[Potter]

I am a newbie... And want simple hammock and tarp suspension. I looked Dutches bling but I don't know. I don't want whoopie slings. Can you help?

What type of hammock do you want/have? Your options will largely depend on this

I have Sierra Madre Hammock Pares 10ft long. I have Nube tarp go with it. Simple hammock suspension to go both of these. I have the continuous loop on Hammock.

Simple strap suspension should do the trick....https://dutchwaregear.com/ti-cinch-b...uspension.html
Carry forth.

Thank you! Nube (tarp) is something Dutchware gear I could put on this that easier?

Finding your perfect system (it's not the same for everyone, folks) is all about balance.

Your perfect system will be a balance of 5 things:
Durability, ease of use, SAFETY, versatility and weight.
One guess as to which comes first.

Just for giggles, here's how I approach things when choosing a system:

Safety: This is easy as pie, but vitally important.
Choose materials that are strong enough. Break strength changes when you add angles, knots, buckles... Do your research and for goodness sake DO THE MATH.
Take your weight plus the weight of your setup and anything hanging off your suspension or in the hammock with you.
Multiply the total by 5. That's the bare minimum breaking strength you need.
Personally, I multiply by around 8. Your point of diminishing return is around 12 times the weight total.

Versatility: The system needs to be able to hang between different sized trees at different lengths.
Of course, this will depend on your region, but I like to have one system that works for pretty much everything. Nothing else matters if you can't hang your hammock.

Ease of use: If I can set it up with winter gloves on, it's a pass.
I don't care if it takes 5 minutes to set up my hammock instead of 2, as long as I don't have to fiddle with anything, especially in the dark.

Weight: Having met all criteria above, find the lightest system.
If two or more systems are close enough in weight, take the most versatile.
If they're just as versatile as each other, take the one that's easier to use.
If that's about the same, get precise weight measurements and take the lighter one.
If they're the same weight, post it on hammockforums... you get the picture.

Durability: With all the high tech materials available today, durability isn't really a problem so long as you follow the steps above and take care of your gear.

Hope this helps. Cheers!
