does the strap open so you can attach it around the branch or do you have to pass the strap/loop through the very end of the branch? too high for me.

you loop the strap over the tree limb and then pull it back through the loop to pull it tight

you have to wrap the strap around the branch you do not have to pass it through.

There are loops on either end of the strap. They are connected by the carabiner (metal piece that opens to hang object on to). Perfect for a tree branch! Hope this is helpful.

The perimeter of the branch exceeds 36", so they won't go all the way around. I have screwed hooks into the tree, from which they hang. Seems to work fine,

I had to pass mine through the branch, luckily is wasn't a long branch. I just used a ladder. I'm assuming you might be able to feed the end into the loop and get a good hold that way, but you'd still have to climb up to the branch.

At the very bottom of the unit there is a slot that you can put the loop of the strap through and then put the other end back through the loop. Works just fine. Thanks Steve

The ladder is hung by wrapping the rope loop around the branch and putting the end of the ladder through the space above the top rung, then cinching it down. It's not tied, per se, but simply looped around the branch. I did have to use a couple large zip ties to help keep the loop in place, but with a large enough branch, that shouldn't be an issue. I hope I explained that clearly, it would be helpful if I could include a drawing for you...

you can pending on how you connect the bottom straps, however the extra weight i noticed causes closing it a little more work

You need tree straps to go around the trees then you attach it to the straps. This hammock is very attractive however it is very unstable. You have to be very careful getting in or out.

Just tie the extra slack from behind the sliding clasp to its self. Then put the last loop in the locking carabiner. Now no one can loosen the strap.

The strap isn't adjustable. We had a somewhat angled branch and we fixed the swing by using different length links to connect the swing set.

The loop does not open at all. You have to feed your belt through it. It does come with a carabiner hook for easy yet secure removal.

The design is because it is more compact. The very ends of the hammock sit on the y posts and then you connect it to the hooks at the bottom. I have a eno double nest hammock and I hook it to the hooks on the bottom with my tree straps, but you could also get some chain as well to connect it.

You can also just use a shoelace to attach the strap to the lower neck. This is what my son and daughter and all of their guitar playing friends and teachers do. Very easy and sturdy.

It is a poor design. You need to pull the strap real tight. Pull it to where the first access hole is available then go one more. You need assistance in doing such. We have a different manufacturer which has a infinite adjustable strap much easier.

This replaces a tree strap and does not come with one. You'll need one while installing this to your tree for the first time, but not after that. You attach your safety harness to this and slide the prussic knot up as you climb. When you get to the top, you slide it above your head and hunt. You are attached all the way from the ground to the stand and back, never unhooking until you are safely on the ground.

It is weird and not well designed. A loop would be better.I cross my straps, like Im tying a shoelace at the start, then attach the straps to each other's velcro. Works decent.

There is an eye-loop at the bottom, but nothing in the middle. It seems too long to tie to the leg with the loop being at the end, but does not give me any problems with just the belt loop alone.

Comes with a strap to go around tree. Strap is tight fit on camera loops. I used small screw driver to push it through.

Yes. While mine's out on the tree, I'd guesstimate the strap is approximately six feet long.

The width all depends on the length of the strap that is supplied. I have used it on 4 trees now, and the current tree is probably 4 foot around but I also had to use one of my own ratchet straps for the lower half due to the width of the tree. I have more of a problem with thinner trees than wider trees, the wider the better I say. They sway less in the wind.
