Hammock suspension.

What kind of rope do yall use to suspend hammocks while camping?

I've tried several ropes and everything just has way too damn much stretch. We're looking for the ability to hang hammocks between trees that are about 30 feet apart. Short distance we have no problem with stretch its just when we need to suspend further past 2 feet on each side of the hammock.

 

I use polyester webbing and buckles on mine, nylon stretches too much for that. Here is a good place for all the info you'll ever need.

ENO Slap Straps. or use ratcheting tie down straps. They are great for adjustment

 

I use ENO Atlas straps. Real quick to set up at very adjustable

 

I ended up getting some 1.5 inch web straps from the Home Depot. I've tied a ring on one end of each for easily securing around trees.

 

ENO now has Atlas straps available in XL. I've also used 14' buckle straps with great success. I'll post pics soon.

Climbing Webbing.. I've used 3/4" wide to save space and it works fine.. After 2-3 initial uses it will not stretch anymore..

But our trees are usually around 15 feet to 20 feet apart.. At 30 feet, you must be tying 12 feet up the tree for good angle.

 

Webbing from RE I. $13.50 for 30 ft. Works awesome http:// www.rei.com/product/752375/bluewater-1-climb-spec-tubular-webbing-package-of-30-ft?cm_mmc=cse_PLA_GOOG-_-7523750045&CAWELAID=120217890000889411&lsft=cm_mmc:cse_PLA_GOOG

 

Amsteel Whoopie slings and Tree Straps = $14

No stretch at all, and completely adjustable!
