Hey guys, i thought I read about a suspension using amsteel, that worked kind of like a whoopie sling, but without dealing with a long bury (so you could set up closer to trees, without losing that 12 inches or so the whoopie sling takes up) Is there such a thing, or am I remembering it wrong? Thanks!

Some new comments, and a link to the original thread...I think this is what you're talking about.
If you like the whoopies but are looking for a way to work with shorter distance hangs, you could keep the whoopie and add a continuous loop.
Use the whoopie under "preferable" hang distances.
When the hang distance gets too short for the whoopie to accomodate, you can simply put the continuous loop right over the marlinspike hitch.
+1 on the single ring suspension. I really like it as an additional option to whoopies. Its best use is exactly as you described - when the whoopie minimum distance is still too long (long hammocks on hammock stands, when using bridge hammocks, etc.).
