Still leaves the first half hitch to be undone by hand though, right?
When I do the working end back-and-forth between a ring and a biner (a lazy man trucker's hitch!), if the cord visits each end three times there is so little tension on the free end that a single half hitch on a loop is enough to hold it. I expect the same is true here. Using a truckers hitch I can ditch the biner I think (idiosyncratic to my use...ring is on a ridgeline, biner is on the loops of the tree straps, I can just tie the suspension cord to the tree straps.) Will give this a shot next time I'm out with the gear.
