Hammock Update
I went to the local outdoor store today and picked up two 60cm runners (a sewn loop of 3/4" webbing) and have replaced the webbing that came with the hammock. I pulled the loop through the end of the hammock, attached a carabiner, and am now using the Eagle's Nest Slap Straps instead of the original webbing.
There are now no knots holding up the hammock which means the webbing retains 100% of its tensile strength. It also means it's darned easy to put up and take down.
We'll give it another go tonight.

That looks a pretty cool hammock. Do you have any more pics?

Here are a few more pics I snapped when I first received the hammock from Tom Claytor.
I don't have a pic with the tarp pitched but will try and get some of those in the next day or so.
I just saw on your blog that you and I are doing basically the same thing with the webbing and carabiners. Great minds...or something like that. :)
