I've always used 1" daisy chains (8') long and whoopies to connect to trees. I recently moved to Texas, and the state parks here require 2" straps. How do yo handle this requirement? I ordered some 12' long 2" straps and figured I'd either just wrap tree multiple times when needed or use a Becket hitch.
That got me to wondering though - what are others doing out there when required to use 2" straps on trees? I was tossing an idea around of a short (3-4') 2" wide hugger that would go around the backside of the tree where the weight is in contact and then just use 1" strap/dogbone/whoopie end to connect to the two ends and to the hammock.
Anyway - I appreciate any descriptions or pictures of what you may be using out there!
