Thanks.

The original hammock string is very basic.

I need fast setup without take time to tie a knot.

Like you, I cannot find a whoopee sling here. But the string seller advise me to DIY which is not difficult. So try lor. biggrin.gif

Ordered this last week via aliexpress. 390 gram total(2 biner + 4 rings) Hopefully I don't fall & die. If too heavy probably just gonna use it for short trips & long trips using the default lashing. Can't wait for both hammock & suspension to arrive. biggrin.gif

That parts strength is over your body weight many time. Caribiner 22kN = 2200kg. If you weight 70kg, that is 31x.

But 390g is abit heavy side.

For hammock, that is ok to get from China. But if for rock climb, I won't order from china. Their material and quality is suspicious.

It is not so popular here. It is more for the hardcore camper and hiker.

My latest camping with a 20+person group, only me is using hammock. sad.gif

Hennessy is not bad.

I still not use to sleep in hammock. The normal hammock I try will squeeze my shoulder when sleep on it. The shorter the hammock the more squeezing it is. Not so comfort.

I have problem sleeping when not comfort enough.

Most of the time I still have to use tent. Cause all the girl want privacy. sad.gif

Wouldn't sleeping diagonally solves this?

I found it hard to sleep diagonally. Every time I try to sleep this way, eventually will be back to straight.

But the hammock I try out is a smaller size (or standard ?) Before I brought my banglo hammock.

Is you Hennessy end center is opening type? I mean you craw in from the center.

Last month went there.
