Alternative to beads on whoopies

[DENMONKEY]

I've just finished knocking up a Adjustable ridgeline (1.9techline) to try and work out my preferred sag as per some advice.
I wanted to add something onto the loop to stop myself pulling the ridgeline into itself which is what I came very close to doing on my whoopies.
Anyway I went hunting for beads but to no avail. Then I had an idea.

These are little swivels I have in my fishing kit. Luckily enough, they just fit over the tline nicely. Best thing ? they don't even register on the scale

I guess those should work.

That'll work. Here are some other suggestions:

Nice ingenuity - I never would have thought to look in my fishing tackle for something.

I have used dice as the stopper bead:

The first whoopies I made I didn't put beads on. I'm thinking some small key rings?

If only you were here before I started making them



I seriously started looking at all sorts of things I could drill holes through but I didn't think of them.

That's a lot of dice.

[DENMONKEY]

yes, sir it is. I never knew why I kept them all. Now I have seen the light

That's a lot of dice.

I think you've just started a new style trend in hammocking ..
