I like the fact that it doesn’t use any metal hardware. The hammock’s gathered end is not secured by a continuous loop but rather a detachable loop that opens to receive the adjustable end of the Whoopie sling, like a soft shackle would but instead of a ball knot at the end it uses a plastic button. Pretty slick.
Having said all that, you can probably get similar DIY components for a cheaper price at Myers Tech Hammock Lab on Facebook, and make your own suspension.
