Length of Whoopie buries

[Knotty]

I had no idea how much I didn't know about rope until I started playing around with suspension...

What you don't know about rope CAN hurt you.

The Samson instructions call for 3-1/2 fid lengths for the adjustable bury. A fid for 1/8" line is 2-5/8 long, so the bury is 9-3/16".

For 7/64" line the bury would be 8" or more accurately 8-1/32.

I agree. My 7/64" was 10" before the bury and when measured afterwards was almost exactly 8".

EDIT: Actually, I think I misunderstood what you said... but my measurements are still the same.

Luckily we're talking about hammock suspension, not climbing. A two foot decent to the ground would bruise my ego more than my rear.
