This post has hurt my feelings. I didn't read it before I tried to use my Wooki with my new Hammock Gear hammock and, like you said, I busted the elastic band! Now I've got to figure out how to replace it AND how to adjust like you've described! Plus I somehow broke the cord that kept that whole end gathered! And I have to figure out how to "re-gather" it.
Sigh.
Somebody told me how frightening it was how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared.

I've done this, so you don't have to! I broke the rubber band AND the cord creating the gathered end while trying to use it with my new Hammock Gear hammock. Didn't damage the UQ beyond that, though!

For those broken bands, you can buy additional elastics (rubber bands) from WarBonnet at $1.00 each. I had one snap on my Lynx and WB said it’s considered a “wearout-able” part - like your car’s wiper blades. Considering that it lasted for over 5 years, I’m happy with it. But I’ll wait till I have more to order, then add in a few elastics. At least one replacement and one for the repair kit. Actually I’ll get three - because that second rubber band on the Lynx is the same vintage as the one that “went to the other side”. I’d imagine the Lynx uses the same elastics as the Wookie.
I found it using "Lynx Band" in the WB search field but I didn’t come up with anything searching Wookie Band. Maybe a section of bicycle inner tube would also work.

In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
I use a wooki on my DH Sparrow, works well
