For all that I have read and the help I have gotten here, I made up some hammock clips to hang with. I have used mine several nights and they have worked good.

For the first six that send me an email with your mailing address, I'll send you a pair.



Thanks everyone.

Very nice of you! Email sent

I'll also use this thread to say thank you to everyone for their info, tips and tricks. I like talking about hammocks almost as much as sleeping in them.

Nice. Thanks.

What material are they made out of? Just curious.

I could use a pair, thank you so much. Email sent

3/16 aluminum. Cut them out on a wire EDM and put them in a deburring tumbler to round out the sharp corners.

Email sent. I've needed to build a dedicated suspension for my traveling hammock (ENO doublenest)

What a great gesture!

Those look great Kevin, Thank You for making those and offering them up! I've switched my suspensions over to Amsteel blue so I don't have much need for them but I'm curious what size strap those are made for, from the picture it looks to be about 1"?

I've thought about trying out the strap suspension setup but just haven't done so yet.

Yes I made them for 1" strap.

Thanks everyone. They are all gone but I will dig through the scrap aluminum this summer and see if I can find anymore 3/16".

I know that I have a lot of 1/4" but don't not sure on the 3/16".

Thanks again. If anyone wants, throw Adam a few extra bucks to put towards BWCA.com

Mine showed up in the mail today. WhoooHooo they sure look good, thanks again. I will pay it forward the next time I can.

Me too. I plan to test them this weekend at Southern Wing.

Thanks so much for the clips! I'll be paying it forward.

Thanks, Kevin! My clips were in the mail yesterday. Along with the others I'll be figuring out how to repay your kindness.

Perfect. Thanks.

my flying moose doesn't show up yet...it will soon.

Ok now I have a question, are these installed upside down or not? I have never used them but I have only seen them installed with the big part on top. Does it matter? Here is a link for what I found... Dutch Clips

I have used them 4 nights like Jim shows with no problems.

Must be no big deal. Thanks for replying.

Looking at the above pictures, I recall Dutch recommending the straps be positioned so that they come straight off the side of the tree, reducing pressure on the clip itself. I've used Kevin's and they are sweet.
