Ok, I have my table cloth hammocks and they have channels sewn in the ends. Right now we have zip ties running through the ends to gather it all up. I think we want to change that and have the fixed end of the whoopie slings made out of AmSteel run through the channels instead. Is there a problem with doing it this way? I have printed off instructions on how to make the whoopie slings and if I understand correctly there is one end loop that is fixed and one that is adjustable. I have been searching the forum and it looks like some people are now putting a little piece of Amsteel in the area of the fixed loop to keep it from slipping out. Is this correct? Otherwise I am trying to figure out what is keeping the tail from slipping out when it is not under load. My Cub Scout will be using some of these whoopie slings and I don't want it to come apart from him fiddling around with it.
OK, so the other end of the whoopie sling is adjustable. Looks like most people prefer it to be around 6 feet long. Is this correct? Is there any benefit to making it longer or shorter? I have some 1" webbing on order for the tree straps that I will DIY. I also want my tree straps to be adjustable. Or is this overkill?
I just want this whole system to be as adjustable and as adaptable as possible.
What am I missing?
