In that
older thread I showed a photo with the loopie and whoopie side by side at their shortest possible lengths. As I recall the whoopie was about 21" and the loopie 10 1/2". However, for the loopie you then have to add the extra distance of a biner or shackle.
Another nice thing about the loopie is that it can be easily rotated to bring the adjustment point close the hammock instead of way up near the strap, which is a nice feature for us shorter folk.
So far I haven't been fond of fumbling with shackles in the field. I'll tinker with your latest suggestion.
