Need to ask, I got new hammocks from SLD and Dutch whoopie slings with whoopie hooks. I need to make sure I have my thoughts right and ask what is the correct way to attach the continuous loop into the pre sewn channel. I used a piece of PVC and fed it through however I wanna "knot" it or make it so it doesn't back feed off when I take the whoopie hooks off and pack gear up. FYI I attached them on a hammock but looking make sure I do it the right way. Thanks.
A simple larkshead knot does the trick.

Girth hitch through the channel. Very simple and secure.

Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank Scorpio: Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks!
After putting weight on the girth/cow/larkshead/strap/Vegas hitch, it will tighten up to the point where you will have to pick at it to loosen it up. You can put this way back on your worry list.

Hadn't heard of that one. Sounds like it only last's about a night though.Originally Posted by JasonACraft
What happens with the Vegas hitch stays with the Vegas hitch. As mentioned, it will stay put no problem.
