After using the HH lash, Speer's knot, and the double ring system, I conceived the following:

"Hammock Suspension Knot" The images are shown in reverse order.
It's secure, fast to tie, and by loosening a loop, unties quickly as well. Using a clove hitch on the descending ring offers adjustibily and security. By then passing the line thru a carbiner then back to the ring, I have the mechanical advantage of the trucker's hitch. To assist in applying tension to the line, push on the hammock side of the ring as you pull on the tag. To loosen, just hook your finger behind the second loop and pull it towards you. This creates enought slack to pull the tag end back through it. Now give the tag a tug and the entire knot will relax.
