Here’s what I think works well. Very comfortable, with back support!

Everything fits in this sack.

Checkout the straps from hummingbird hammocks. I was going to say they weigh 2.3 ounces, but I just checked out their site and they have an updated model that weighs only 1.55 ounces.

Thanks! If you straddle that thing and make one side higher than the other, it’s like a comfortable recliner. :-)

I am extremely concerned about weight, but no way would I skip using 1" wide straps around the trees.
Tress make it possible for us to hang, be kind to trees. Ropes damage the cambium layer just below the bark. That's were nutrients flow to the tree.
Also, protect our right to hang as a community. If wardens, rangers, etc. perceive that we are harming trees, we all will lose.
I use both Kevlar and Dyneemna straps from www.dutchwaregear.com and they are practically weightless and take up no room in your pack.

Welcome to the trees!

How about a strap of choice with a grappler hitch at one end to go around the tree- and becket hitch the strap to the CL on the seat/ sling. No hardware needed and the tree is happy. done.

Winner winner... chicken dinner! This is the way I’m gonna go! THANKS
