    Dutch Biners and Titanium Cinch Buckles make a nice setup that works well with the RR suspension. It shortens the suspension a few inches and makes the straps or dogbones easily removeable

    I think that's a great combination of hardware! The only thing I haven't liked about those buckles is the need for something (usually Amsteel) to stop the slider from falling out and possibly getting lost. For most folks that means having the buckle remain on the hammock and unthreading the strap. With the strap remaining threaded, as shown, the risk of the slider falling out is minimized. Don't know if it's totally eliminated if the 'biner doesn't stay with the buckle (instead of remaining on the dogbones), but the risk would be pretty small.


    All that said, the Beetle Buckles would be a cheaper investment if you're starting from scratch.

    What made you pick Cinch Bugs over Beetle Buckles?

    They seem pretty similar but the cinch bugs had bridge hammocks specifically in the pics and description so I went for It.

    I slip the dog bones over the hooks on the beetle buckles. I keep the suspension in an AHE sap sack.

    I only mention it because most folks seem to find the BBs easier to work with. I know I do. And, if memory serves me, the horns are a bit bigger.

    Continuous loop on stock hardware, then kevlar straps/Becket hitch. Couldn't get simpler or pack smaller.

    I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about with regards to being able to "rig" the suspension separately. What's stopping you right not from connecting the straps to the trees then connecting each end of the hammock? Are you describing something more of a continuous ridgeline sort of setup?

    I sometimes use a lazy slug tube on my RidgeRunner. It's very convenient to be able to attach each end of the suspension to the trees but leave the hammock body, quilts, pillow, etc. safely inside a tube until I'm ready to put it all together.

    Beetle Buckles. Store them and the webbing in a Ziploc bag. (I use a Dutch Clip to secure the webbing around the tree.)

    I have daisy chains and Mantis bling too. Fun to play with but don’t really use this set up too often.
