One of the simplest methods is to use webbing with a built-in daisy chain, such as the Kammok Python Strap or the ENO Atlas Strap. With a climbing carabiner, you can clip the hammock to the strap at points along the strap.

With just a strap, you could tie a Marlinspike hitch anywhere along the strap using a toggle. No extra hardware needed, simply loop the hammock’s end loop over the knot on the hitch.

You could also put two descender rings on the hammock side, attached to the loop via a Lark’s head knot. Thread the strap through the rings to provide an adjustment point and then tie a slippery half hitch to secure. I’ve illustrated a few of these methods in my book.

Yes ^_^

I should have clarified: by “weight conscious” I meant how heavy or lightweight you want your suspension system. Some people “car camp” and don’t care how heavy something might be, or the weight doesn’t matter, whereas others are gram counters, trying to reduce how much is in their backpack. In either case, you want to make sure there is no weak link in the system: all components should be rated to the weight capacity you need.

The Dutch Clips on this page are sufficiently strong and are very quick for getting a webbing strap connected around a tree. I think your question refers to the missing link between the hammock and the webbing, correct?

I understand how to attach a strap to a tree after studying it. I understand how to prepare the ends of the hammock with rope and hooks. I wonder as to the ways of fastening the strap to the hammock with a carabiner or rope. I weigh over 200lbs -if that is the weight conscious you refer. I suppose if I were to choose, I would like a method which is both quick and strong?

The “best” way is up to you 🙂 There are several “best” ways depending on what you prefer. Some people like climbing carabiners. They are easy to come by, strong, and simple to understand. Weight conscious hangers might opt for other options, but “best” is difficult to quantify. What are you looking for? What do you want to achieve?

I’ve only used my set a few times so I can only speculate on the long-term durability. For durability questions I would contact DutchWare directly. In my own experience it looks like the clips “scrunch” the webbing sufficiently to reduce rubbing and abrasion. If it were me and I chose to bring the Dutch Clips | ti, I would put a spare set of straps in my bounce box just in case.
