I just picked these up, haven't taken them out of the package. I've got a 4lb hammock but it has its own straps. I just got the hammock gear dyneema tarp, 400 bucks lol, I'm gomma end up with a thousand bucks in this thing I think. my zpacks douplex only cost 650. but by the time you get your sleep pad and everything trying to stay under two lbs is gonna cost more then that I guess. Just learning myself, these videos really help. I wasted so much money. so thanks for sharing. I understand the statement buy once cry once now. my biggest mistake is titanium cookware. pans never work and pots only to boil water. I know I spent at least 2,000 on that crap that doesn't work

Polyeter webbing at 1" will support 2000+ lbs. 2mm Dyneema will support 600+ lbs on each cord. So at a minimum, these should hold 1200 lbs, according to the tensile strength of the materials used. Not sure why the whimpy rating of only 300 lbs. Any thoughts? I weigh in at 270, hammock is 2.5 lbs total, maybe a phone, battery, charger, water bottle, quilt, clothes, and light, so a total of maybe 280-285? Not a problem. Just curious as the the low weight threshold.

Just picked these up. They work great but noticed they don't fit over a lot of trees with any girth to them. Needs to be smaller trees around. Research the area you intend to use this in because if you have mostly large trees around you may need the bigger straps. The other types you have look nice. The ENO Atlas or Atlas XL straps are pretty nice as well but like you said, are significantly heavier. Just need to know where you're going and what you'll need
