I'm new to hammock camping and just made a couple of whoopie slings. After I got them on the hammock and strung up, a question popped into my head.
Is the adjustable loop truly necessary? Couldn't a two rope configuration with two fixed eyes and two terminated ends work? This would require far less rope (or extend the range of the sling).. which is also less weight. I ran short on amsteel when I was doing my adjustable ridge line, so I basically made a whoopie splice adjustable ridge line. So far it seems to hold.
