The DD Tree Huggers are designed to prevent damage to trees when using a lightweight suspension system such as DD Hammock's Whoopie Slings.
DD Hammocks says:
Designed to grip – but not damage - the tree, our Tree Hugger straps are wrapped around the tree as many times as required and have two end loops onto which you can clip your whoopie slings.
Connect both loops to Whoopie Slings using either our metal or soft-shackle karabiners – friction from direct contact with the slings can damage the Tree Huggers. Not suitable for marlin spike hitch set-ups. Please follow instructions provided.
DD Tree Huggers are designed to prevent damage to trees when using a lightweight suspension system such as DD Hammock's Whoopie Slings. At 2cm wide and 2m long they fit around most trees and if using with a smaller tree, they can be wrapped around more than once.
They feature a 2" loop sewn in at either end so no knots are required. Quick and easy! Check out the video for the complete Whoopie suspensions system. Please note; the Whoopie slings and karabiners shown in the video are sold separately.
