Using these Big Agnes hammock suspender straps is easy. First, find two sturdy trees or support points. Wrap the 290 - cm long straps around the support points and use the 10 - cm daisy - chain loops to attach your hammock in multiple ways. Remember, these straps can hold up to 181 kg or 400 lbs, so don't exceed this weight limit. When it comes to maintenance, keep them dry and store them in a cool place. If they get dirty, gently hand - wash them with mild soap and let them air - dry. Also, always check for any signs of wear and tear before each use.
