I've been playing with the same idea for a while now. My hammock is homemade and the suspension is straps that are not permanently attached to the hammock. I've been trying to figure a way to use the straps on the outside of the roll you mentioned and then loop them over to form shoulder straps (naturally I'd want to put padding of some kind on these straps). I was thinking I'd make the roll bigger so that everything would go inside the pad/hammock.

I would like to eliminate the pack entirely since it is just a single use item. Not sure if I'll ever get around to making it a reality.


Have you read up on the Moonbow Designs gearskins & "powerpack" system? That approach sounds very similar.
