    New S&D hammock suspension

    https://youtu.be/qniOlKKGjp4

    It is a niche suspension, few if any will build it and use it
    Pros
    Never Slips
    Never Jams
    Never damages strap
    No Hardware
    No Knots
    Not a single knot tied at camp—knots are tied One Time—during the build, when you’re making it,and No Knots during set up

    Cons
    Weighs just under 5 grams per foot (light enough, but not ultralight)
    Adjusts in 3 inch increments
    Not as fast as hardware
    Requires use of Dutch’s spider daisy chain webbing. I get lots of great hammocks and hammock accessories from Dutch and am always pleased with top quality and fast shipping
    Initial assembly or build is DIY—Do It Yourself

    Was it uploaded under David Hughes' channel? I see a Phantom Grappler Suspension video under that channel, but it is 7 years old. The newest video under David Hughes is from 3 years ago.
    Here is the link to the video from 7 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jGToqEU2-U

    New S&D hammock suspension

    My apologies to you, Jake

    I might get my friends to help me at Yates, this weekend. I believe one of them can cut and paste the correct link. Try it again, it’s different now

    Very nice setup!

    And I'm sure that it is not going to let you down, not with those mondo button knots!!

    I'm curious if I could use that with whoopie slings and if the knots would pop out of the loop now.... Those would be a might bit easier than the Dutchware titanium carabiners - I always have a hard time getting those off of 1/8" amsteel whoopies or dogbones.

    That would be tough for me, one who adjusts in increments of millimeters (not joking).

    Apparently, I now have two YouTube channels
    When my friend tried to upload new videos, we had both forgotten the old user name and password
    So when he uploaded new videos, with a new user name and password—a new channel was created

    On none of my videos do I say please like and subscribe
    But since I have two channels, best way to make sure you can even find all my videos, is to make sure you are subscribed to both my old and new channels. If later you’ve seen new videos, but don’t find them useful, just unsubscribe.
    Have fun, and set up your hammock the way you want to set it up—not the way I or anyone else recommends. Trust your gut and develop your own style to suit your taste and your particular type of hammock camping

    I use those straps and a carabiner connecting them to the CL. I understand it is possible to tie a marlin spike hitch with them. They are incredibly light compared to the cheap straps, and the links being woven means no stitching to fail.
