Same here (on the wide straps - and I double wrap on smaller trees). As far as the banning that is what I am concerned about. However, I could always do what was shown in the picture.

The reason I'm even contemplating this is to have the advantage of camping on ground that a tent would not work, and therefore have the advantage of both forms of shelter. Others include: the poles for my bridge hammock are shorter than the tent's and are easier to pack, my hammock is way more comfortable, my hammock is slightly lighter, and I can create a great big space to hang out under my tarp.
