Excellent item found in "Hiker's Depot"! Small hooks and cords dramatically improve the hassle of hammocks

It's very convenient to integrate the strap and hammock!

At "Hiker's Depot" in Daocheng Yading, Sichuan, which supports light mountain walking, we have been proposing hammocks for hikers. He introduced that hammocks are more suitable than camping, such as being able to sleep soundly without a mat, which makes it lighter, and sleeping comfortably even on slopes.

Of course, hammocks and related gear are sold in stores and online shops, so if you check them often, you will find useful accessories that you can hardly find at other stores.

One of them is "Dutch Ware Gear Titanium Dutch Clip. It's just a 4.3 x 2.6 cm titanium clip, but it does a good job.

When hanging a hammock on a tree, it is said that using a strap with a width of 2 cm or more will reduce the burden on the tree, so a wide strap called a tree hugger, tree strap, etc. is wrapped around the tree, and a carabiner, etc. is used at the tip. The standard setup procedure is to attach a hammock.

The strap is looped on both sides, and the hammock is hooked after passing the other loop through one loop. That's all, but the task of looping through is unexpectedly cumbersome, and it's easy to forget to accidentally remove it from the tree when it's withdrawn.

The strap is a wide string, but you can safely and securely hang the hammock on the tree without knowing the rope work, and the load capacity is calculated, so in a sense, this strap is the key to the hammock.

I've seen straps that I forgot to remove from the trees in the campsite several times, but if I forget them, I'm having trouble using them at my next destination, and it's not cheap enough to buy a new one. The camper who had forgotten would have been regrettable.

The usage of "Dutch Ware Gear Titanium Dutch Clip" is simple. Attach a hammock to one side of the strap in advance, and hang "Dutch Ware Gear Titanium Dutch Clip" on the loop on the other side.

Turn the strap around a tree, hook the strap with a paper clip, and you're done.

There is no work to pass through the loop one by one, and there is no need to remove the hammock first when withdrawing. It helps prevent you from forgetting to remove it, and it's so convenient that you can't let go of it once you use it because you only have to hook the strap.

As in the usual camp, when you use a pole to put a tarp on the ground, you can easily adjust the tension by using a universal metal fitting, but when you turn a rope around a tree, it is quite annoying.

There is a taut-line hitch in rope work, but honestly, if you are accustomed to using a taut-line hitch, you can't immediately remember how to tie it. However, it seems that it would be better to remove the universal bracket and then turn it on a tree, but it is difficult to reattach it one by one. I chose a hammock to avoid the hassle of setting up a tent, but this was the end of the story.

I felt using the "Highland Designs Pitching Cord Kit [aka Koyakake-kun]", but as shown in the photo, if you use a twig instead of a hook and attach a universal bracket to the tarp side, you can easily hang the tarp. so.

However, the universal metal fittings of "Highland Designs Pitching Cord Kit [a.k.a Koyakake-kun]" do not easily shift over time, and even beginners can use it intuitively. One of the advantages is that it is extremely lightweight.
