No Sew 15 MIN Hammock Suspension

[mercop]

I felt the need to work on a new suspension for my ENO Doublenest that I use to sleep in my front yard ( I live at the corner of tree and bush, so nobody cares, except for my wife). I have been customizing/making tactical gear for over decade so I had what I needed laying around the Man Cave.

Here is what I used-
(2) US GI Issued snap links to replace the factory links
30 feet of Bluewater 1 inch tubular webbing http://www.gearexpress.biz/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=G&Product_Code=BWCSW
(2) ITW Tri Glides

I cut two 8 foot pieces of webbing. I doubled back 10" on each end and tied an over hand knot. I put one on a tree branch and put the snap link on another to use it as a handle to hang on to "set" the knots.

Then I replaced the factory links on the ENO with the USGI links. Next I looped my new straps around a tree and my front porch before attaching the snap links. Then I took the rest of the webbing and rang it through both sets of strap ends about the biner and ran it through a Tri-Glide to set my ridge line. The last thing I did was adjust it to suit me. Done

I am going to test it tonight. Right now the only thing I plan on changing or adding is some bicycle inner tube over the strap to add grab and abrasion protection. Interested to hear what the experts here think.- George

Thanks for sharing. I've got my first hammock coming any day now. Cant wait to try it out. I've been thinking of how I'm going to hang it, so any ideas are appreciated.
