I have made some new slings overnight and removed the knots. The thing with the dyneema is I know its almost bombproof and has myriad of uses so I can use it for other things other than my hammock if needed. Im taking spare stuff to re rig tonight if it doesnt work and I can always sleep on the floor if i have to.
Thanks for the advice

I use my dd travel or camping hammock with the webbing and hang it any way and a dd tarp 3x3m
so just back from my little overnight foray into a new spot we have found, joined by Nat from NB and my mate Pete - I'll start a new thread later, but for now my hammock suspension system worked a treat.
The whoopies I made were a little short so i used the original flat polyprop from my hammock (its a tenth wonder by the way) to go round the tree then looped one whoopie through it. Slept flat, warm and comfy all night. Best nights kip I've EVER had camping i could even lay on my side.

Excellent mate. Normally takes folk a while to get the hang of laying on their side. You must be a natural

Hi just got a hammock and tried it for the first time on a beach camp using some old 'telegraph poles' that were for a beach shade. Was somewhat unsure of how it would go but it was a great nights sleep. One question, can anyone recommend a good mosquito net that I can use in conjunction with the hammock. I have a Life venture travel hammock. I'm living in the UAE and so far can only find Lifesystems mosquito nets and there a quite a number of different ones. I have emailed the manufacturer of the hammock but no response yet. Any advice would be very welcome.
I'm planning to take some Explorer Scouts to a desert island for a camp in mid-Feb all being well and am planning to use the hammock, but will definitely need some sort of net as the island is a mix of sand and mangroves.
Thanks

How do you sort the end of the hammock out with a c/karabiner? I can't find a link anywhere.
Here's NB's video, which includes the crab conversion.
