I always have a very hard time loosening the straps when taking down the hammock. Usually the buckles do not budge at all, even when the hammock is pulled to take up all available slack.
I have had some luck with rotating the carabineers so that the strapa just slide out of them.
This last Time I hung it, I ended up having to cut the loop in one of the straps with a pocket knife. No amount of pulling, pushing, and twisting, even using four people to pull out more slack, could get it to budge.
What is the trick? Are you just supposed to not tighten it that much? Do you have to leave some slack when tightening the webbing straps? Usually I just pull it as tight as it will go.
