    Connecting Hugger Loop to Loop on end of Amsteel (or whoopie)

    I know I've seen a variation / type / improvement of Lark's heading a tree-hugger end-loop to a loop on the end of an Amstreel strand or whoopie sling.

    But, I can't seem to find it... I'm trying a new suspension setup and have a Dutch Spider 1.5 hugger with sewn loops and a length of Amsteel with a loop on one end.
    I'm connecting the two loops. I inserted the amsteel loop through the hugger loop, passed the amsteel back through its own loop... Simple Larkshead.

    Is there a different or better attachment for durability / stress on the two materials?

    Yup! That was it..... Looks like that's what Dutch was specifying for attaching his whoopie-hook to a hugger.
    Thanks for finding / sending that graphic.

    I use a soft shackle.

    This is how I have my whoopies setup as well. I then use a soft shackle to join the hugger onto itself.
