Kudos to MassDrop for now selling with straps as an option. Personally, I'd rather go the rest of my life without seeing a pic of ropes on a hammock around some trees, no matter how barkless they are, LOL.
As for the straps offered here, they look sort of similar to the webbing buckles/straps that I use, but instead of a carabiner to attached the buckle section, a fixed toggle is used. This could be a nice, simpler attachment point, but I'd want to see how it performs.
Please remember folks, always use straps when suspending from trees. Its not just about protecting trees, but its also about combatting the attitudes of rangers across the country that still view hammocks as instruments of tree damage - either bark damage from ropes, or sometimes from nails, etc., used as attachment points (no suspension). If you've hung in a state park anywhere, you likely know exactly what I'm talking about.
