    Sorry.. never got you the picture of the anchor. Left is the hammocks CL, right would go to the tree strap. I don't know if you can buy these any longer.. I have this pair from Sqidmark. However, you can do exactly the same thing using a DWB Double Whoopie Hook.



    The reason I have stuck with the Kevlar is that it doesn’t roll up... at all. Stays flat around the tree and easily flattens out where it has been compressed.. at the tree connection and at the Beckett. Just run it once between thumb and index finger as I am finding it for storage and it’s as flat as the day I bought it.

    Perfect, thank you for the reply. That may be what I try next then.

    Always appreciate your feedback.
