I recently bought some cheap UHMwPE from eBay with the idea for using it as suspension and thought I'd share my experience.
The chief motivating factor was price, I've been messing around with various hammocks and would really like dedicated whoopie slings on the lot of em, but at around £1/m, the usual Amsteel is a bit much for me.
This stuff is obviously a bit thinner, and the weight rating is nowhere near as good (380kg), but still within a 5x multiplication of my weight.
Anyway, long story short, it works fine (I'm 70kg). As well neither does the bury slip.
I did try a UCR with a whopping 30cm bury, but that still slipped on me.
This is slightly lighter than the Amsteel too, but really it's about the price for me (58p/m)
Anyone else have any cheapo options for whoopie slings?
