Is it possible? I was going to use Zing it to make my ridge line and I've read to start with 83% of my hammock length. I figured whoopie slings would allow me to change it as needed. Is this a good idea?

Yeah you can do that,,,,,,well wait, let me say that it is possible, but splicing zing it can be a pain. My ridgeline is a dynaglide whoopie and it is cool for it to be adjustable but once I got it comfortable I don't want to move it. (that consistencay was kinda the reason for the ridgeline in the first place). Anyways back on topic, yes you can make a zingit whoopie ridgeline

2.2 is much much easier than 1.7 but either can be done.
As dangerous says though, once you have it, you don't really need to adjust it...

I make all my ridgelines using 1.75mm Zing-it and splice it without too much difficulty.

The good thing about the 1.75 lines are that the bury does not need to be as long as for 7/64 amsteel. You'll be shooting for roughly half the length of a amsteel bury. While it can be more difficult to splice than amsteel, its not impossible. I say go for it, and have fun.

Here's what splicing the fixed eye end looks like with 1.75 zing it.
@dangerous. So you're saying a whoopie made out of dynaglide would be better for a ridge line?
Dynaglide will support your weight better.Some of us have made whoopie slings out of it for their suspension.
