After going through a few to many threads looking for easy and cheap hammock suspension ideas i didnt find many this is for the people that do bushcraft on the cheap !
First ive knotted the green cord that comes as standard with a simple over hand knot the entire length a fists width apart
Next is the webbing i brought a pack of two for 2£ at cheap store i was a little worried and thought they would not be strong enough they are rated to approx 180kg ive had upto 130kg in them without any issues
Next is the links that hold the hammock to the webbing these are simple and cheap 1.50£ each these have also been tested to 130kg
You put all this together using little common sense and you get this
You have to make sure the buckle is the right way other wise it slips and you will fall
Adjusting is easy just move the knots on the hammock webbing to the aqquired level
Like i say this is strong and has 130kgs in it. Its cost just under 6£ and in my eyes is alot easier and cheaper than whoopie slings yet still adjustable
