Edit: It occurs to me that you can picture the loop on the right as a mini whoopie sling, but with tension applied to the wrong side. Slip one of your whoopie slings over a post and pull on the adjustable end, with no tension on the bury. It should tighten like a noose around the post.
Hope that's clearer. If not I can post a less ambiguous picture.
