Materials#

The materials are listed for one pair, as it seldom makes sense to only make one treehugger.



Cut#

Typically sold treehuggers are 2 meters end-to-end, but can also be a bit longer, e.g DD hammocks XL huggers are 3 meters. Reserve 10cm of loop allowance in both ends of you webbing.

For 2 meter long treehuggers, cut 2.2 meter lengths of webbing

Construction#

Just bartak loops in the ends of both lengths of webbing:

  1. Make a fold 10 cm from the end of the webbing.

  2. Make three parallel bartacks across the webbing to secure the loop

Since this needs to hold up quite a lot of weight, make sure your bartacks are properly made, and with thread that is strong enough.
