Just for the heck of it, I'm thinking of fiddling around with converting one of my hammocks (a Dutchware netless in Hexon 1.6 W fabric) from channels to whipped ends so I can play around and try to minimize the floppiness of the edges. However, I have a few questions before I start:
- What type of cordage should I use for whipping? I have lots of paracord available if that'll work.
- Is there a particular method to bunching or folding the fabric before whipping?
- I sleep head left, feet right. If I want to take the slack/flop out of the right side of the head end/left side of the foot end, I assume I need to pull that further through the whipping? I understand this will result in an asymmetrical hammock - that's what I'm looking for.
- I assume the CL just gets larks-headed around the material below the whipping. Is that correct? It seems like it could easily come undone; is there some secret to prevent that?
Thanks for any advice and tips.
