    Aaaaagh!

    In the last year I went to Kevlar straps cause they are so light, then spider Web 2.0 came out and I had to have those. Now 1.5? When will Dutch's brilliance end, and when will I finally run out of money?

    Maybe I should start a gofundme page to see how many people out there feel bad enough for me that they are willing to help sponsor my addict.. er collection.

    Super work, Dutch. Can't wait until I 'need' new suspension.

    So is there a way to do your who suspension with this stuff? I see buckles don't work. Otherwise lightest would be whoopies with huggers, yes?

    Yes, Dutch said marlin spike hitch will work and becket hitch will work.
    You would need a continuous loop attached to hammock, then you could use either of those.

    You can thread it through itself at tree or use carabiner—-or possibly a Dutch Clip?

    These huggers pair up great with our whoopie hooks on whoopie slings. If you did that your suspension (not including continuous loops or dutch clips) would come in at about 2.3 ounces total and would provide great adjust-ability.

    At this weight, I'm strongly considering a daisy chain style suspension. With its similarities in weight to amsteel and the fact that you're already doubling over your amsteel, this seems like a great use of these straps that would eliminate a whole host of problems. Daisy chains have always been easier but also heavier in my opinion. Thoughts, Dutch?

    I do have a light weight woven UHMWPE daisy chain webbing. It would be much better than sewing which can weaken the webbing. It can work but there is a better alternative.

    Hey Dutch, was thinking of doing a group buy on our UK hammock forum.
    If I were to order 100ft, would it come as a continuous length? (not cut into 10ft lengths)
