Sounds like the two of us went different routes. I swapped out my stock cords for "whoopie slings." Basically you take a strong, hollow, braided rope and thread the rope through itself. You end up with a loop of an adjustable length. Connect that loop to your tree straps, repeat for the other side, and then adjust the loops to get your desired tension and placement between the trees. Sometimes a simple knot is used on the tree strap, but otherwise there are no knots involved in the set-up procedure, and it's adjustable without taking the hammock down.

After my first camping trip with the Hennessy, after repeatedly undoing and redoing the Hennessy lashing during the set-up process, I decided that there had to be an easier way. Google led me here: http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=9349 where people spend as much time talking hammocks as we do bicycles. Lots of instructions and even video tutorials to help you switch to a different hammock suspension. The whoopie sling conversion looked complicated when I read about it, but was super easy once I assembled my supplies, and all the fiddly stuff was the one-time suspension swap. When you're setting up camp, it couldn't be easier.
