ATHiking1, Kent: check out Dutch Clips, if you've not already. There's a vid on youtube. Excellent device: uses less strap, sets in 5 seconds instead of a minute or two, and most importantly, does not fray the strap like the tying method you show.
OVERKILL..looping around once is good enough.ending with a half hitch to stop it from loosening up.I have done this several times and has not slipped yet
The storage bag you have should be enough to mark the "head end" of your hammock wouldn't you think?

I bet you hang in the most secure hammock of any site of any park you're camping at.

Toothless, how will the straps effect the trees/tree bark?
