What do you use to hang you hammock up with? I have a DD Hammock with approx 4m each end of webbing, not used the hammock yet but this doesn't seem alot and was thinking of changing it.

I'm a big fan of sky hooks, they are great for when you can find two trees the right distance apart.
I use a storm lashing strap from an army 12x12 tent! Found one surplus to requirements just before leaving the forces that got unexplanedly stuck to my hand and wouldn't release until I put my hand into my pocket! Dunno what happened there!
bit bulky though arnt they ? - you mean the 6 inch wide strapping with wooden seperators on the ends ?
No, there is also a half inch wide nylon webbing storm lashing, I think there are three per tent, with a mad shaped piece of metal that nobody knows how to use!
if you are quick, aldi are still selling a 12 piece ratchet set for £4.99, two 25mm x 5m long with hooks and ratchets 25mm x 2.5 m with buckles, both are marked up as 75 daN but I sure that is before the ratchet fails, and not the strenght of the webbing strap (plus 8 elastic shock cord type things with hooks, you know the ones, they look like the hooks would whip out an eye soon as look at you) I'm sure that the ratchet could be removed quite simply.
