So I'm currently using Ring Buckles for my suspension. I have them attached to the hammock and attach my hammock to the tree with webbing through the rings.

I have made a couple whoopie slings and am thinking about converting my suspension to a whoopie sling suspension.

I have a structural ridgeline (adjustable whoopie) and my question is how do you...or do you have to....cinch down the suspension snug in order for your ridgeline to hang your hammock correctly?

My worry is that with a whoopie sling suspension setup I wouldn't be able to cinch my hammock to the trees as tight as with my rings.

Now I'm thinking I'm wrong here, and that the only thing that the tightness to the trees makes a difference in is how high up your hammock is from the ground.

Thoughts anyone??
