Got a hammock from Syb in the mail today. Thank You Syb, but it has 2 short aluminum tubes, straps with loop on one end and whoopies. I's thinking this is a marlin knot spike setup. Edgemacate me, PLEASE :confused:

Sounds like a Marlin Spike Hitch/Toggle/Whoopie set up to me. ;)
Watch some of Grizz's (AKA Professor Hammock) Suspension videos for how to use.
Click here.
That links directly to the part of Grizz's video about Marlinspike Hitches, and hanging a cording suspension from it.
wrap strap around tree, once, feed loose end of strap through the loop and tighten.
tie a marlin spike hitch on the long no-loop end with the toggle. Put the whoopie on the knot, not the toggle.
Repeat for other side.

all these years LOL. i guess you can teach an old dog new tricks :) but i still refuse to learn how to do that video Snipe thing.
