It also works better with closer trees. Nothing wrong with my whoopie sling setup! I also ordered a Dangerbird Dream Hammock. This will make it now 6 hammocks for our collection! LOL

    Good overview. Just FYI, Dutch also has a system very similar to the Warbonnet Buckles called the June Bug buckle (it's fairly new). He added some extra points to one buckle to make it easier to separate the two buckles. I find it to be a nice middle ground for cost / weight ratio. Not as light as titanium cinch buckle, but lighter than the metal cinch buckle. I just got a pair for use with my Dutchware 11ft netless hammock. I also have to warbonnet buckles for my other hammock. Both systems work great.

    I'm not a fan of bright colors but I waste several minutes every day finding clothes because everything is grey or black. I have the same problem in my pack. I'm planning on a thru hike in the next couple years and I think I could save a lot of frustration by using all the pretty colors they offer. Also I've forgotten black tree straps more than once.

    when you position your strap so that it doesn't put too much stress on the shackle, I think an additional turn around the tree would reduce the stress even more. It's the most amazing hitch ever---3 or 4 turns around a post is very strong. With webbing it may slip but it's the principle that's interesting.

    Shug, you mentioned that the (non ti) cinch buckles are aluminum. Correction, they're stainless steel. The warbonnet buckles are aluminum. One thing I do with buckle suspensions is to make a slip on elastic belt loop that I would keep just a few inches above the buckle to slip the tag end of the webbing through. This helps to ensure (but not guaranty) proper alignment within the buckle itself. Hope that makes sense. It sure beats a slippery half hitch, which is a self defeating hack in my opinion. If you don't have enough confidence in your buckles to do without the hack, then you need to move onto a supsension that you DO have confidence in. My wife and I prefer Beetle Buckles on dyneema.

    Hey Bud! Random question here. I made my own hammock a while back in the style of your good ol' green bean, and I am looking at installing the warbonnet cinch buckle as it's permanent suspension system. At the moment I have my gathered ends wrapped and a loop attached via a prusik knot right below the wrappings used to hook to a loop webbing via carabiner. Now when I saw your warbonner buckles I saw the continuous loop hooked to the hammocks loop via some metal device (with more prusik knots?) My question is, in your opinion, is this necessary or can I just use that knot to hook them together without the metal piece. Or should I just remove the loop and attach the cinch buckles continuous loop straight to my gathered ends. Really appreciate your thoughts, love your videos and having a lot of fun building an entire hammocking system. Also, not sure if those knots i'm referring to are prusik, marlin spike hitches or something else entirely.

    I am looking to upgrade from a daisy chain to a cinch buckle system. Looking at what vendors sell I was wondering if you find that 12' of webbing is usually enough or would 15' serve me better. I mostly was comparing the buckles from Dutch and Warbonnet. I do a lot of canoe trips in the BWCA or short hike in camping from the car so weight is not really an issue for me.

Can I just attach the cinch buckle to the buckle on the tree straps using a carabiner? Let me put it another way. If I use a beetle buckle at one end of my tree strap, can I run a carribiner through the hole in the beetle buckel and attach it to the cinch buckle at the end of the continuous loop?

    Always look at the specs on the weight bearing on suspensions. They usually list it. Or call/email the vendor. At 280 you should be fine for most of these suspensions.

    If your hammock has a ridge line...why does the angle need to be around 30 degrees? The hammock will retain its sag no matter how loose or tight you tie the supporting tree lines. I can see the the importance of that angle if there is not a ridge line. Also...this continuous loop.....why not just make your own by tying a knot at the end to make a loop? Also...if the bark is very smooth, placing the webbing in the "stressed" position will grab the tree with more tightness to prevent slipping down the trunk.

  • @shugemery

    @shugemery

    6 жыл бұрын

    It is a stress thing and most get a better hang on the diagonal in the hammock. 30º is just a good starting point. Gives newbs a place to start as they always want to go straight out with the suspension. More force on webbing and tree that way. But hang as you will. You can do the continuous loop. I have some that way. Just use a good knot! Some old Warbonnet gear has the continuous loop that way. I'd rather wrap the tree strap differently that having it placed in the stressed position. Many wrap twice. Never had mine slide enough that a slight adjustment up won't fix.
