    whoopie sling stuck!?

    Hey fellas!

    My first hammock came in the mail a few hours back... I was playing with the slings and they were working great! One of the slings will tighten, but won't loosen. Not sure how to fix this little problem

    If I understand correctly, you just need to work the area where the line is buried. "Massage" it a little to soften it up. That should work.

    You've pulled too much cord through so there is almost nothing to grab. I wouldn't go that short again. Still, it's probably something that you can work back out, since there is a Whoopie Hook on the end. It might take a little patience, though. Grab the Amsteel near the Whoopie Hook and slowly milk the bury away from the hook.

    I used to do that a lot when I first starting using whoopies also.
