    Cougarmeat, thanks saves lots of guessing and insures against slipping!

    LowTech, looking at all those trees in your photo, you must be in Arizona
    Sounds like you might be talking about Myers video. I made mine from his tutorial and they have a twist like I think you mean.

    Arizona we were, but only a few miles from the Colorado river and the next day we were on the Cali side in a different desert. Still no trees though.

    Yes. see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryrXxv7XuBU
    At about the 12 minute mark.
    In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

    After a little study, I think I'll do a UCR instead of a whoopie. I see a couple advantages; less cordage, the tail is near the end of the hammock, and both ends are attached to the suspension with the locked bremel loops. Looks easy enuf to make
