Kevlar Straps question

[Country Roads]

I use mine with the Titanium cinch buckles. I make sure the webbing is straight in the buckles with no folds. After I have the hammock adjusted how I want it, I do a slippery half hitch behind the buckles (towards the tree side), taking care not to pull the webbing crooked. Dutch does not recommend using the Kevlar with hardware. I personally have had no issues by doing it this way, but I take no responsibility for any sudden ground joining. I think most folks use them with Whoopie slings or use one of the hardware-free hitches, such as the Beckett or J-bend (I have used both in the Kevlar).

Try Becket variants and try the J-bend. All are easy. J-bend is secure and always easy to release, no hassles: cold, wet, freezing weather. And with any tape or straps. And some big guys prefer it as easier to untie after long-time under tension as when semi-permanent camping. I'm not big but like it best over all other methods. Unless you're attracted to metal suspension parts for some reason, no hardware needed, ever; same with Becket.

I have the same straps and use the becket hitch. I've also used a marlin spike but prefer the becket after an unfortunate exploding toggle incident (my fault entirely).

For kevlar straps I love using a marlin spike hitch. I have a pair of titanium toggles that I leaver tied to my hammock ends. When I hang I just run the kevlar around the tree and back through the loop and then tie my MSH and hang the hammock. I think it's the lightest set up option and pretty darn easy once you get the hang of it. The key for me is really just getting the height of the knot right so I get a consistent hammock set up. I like to tie them at about chin height on me on the high end and about 6" lower on the other side.

This. I used the same setup for about 18 months with no slippage. Only problem was a little fraying on the edges of the webbing. But with some care you should be fine trying this.
