    Oh snap!!

    About 2 this morning I awoke rather quickly, there was a loud pop, opened my eyes just in time to hit the ground!

    My Dynaglide that Sarge warned would kill us got surly with me, where the eye contacted the dutch hook snapped. Made that UCR before reading about the sharp edges on the whoopie hook. Lesson learned. Finished the night out with a whoopie, all is well.

    Deburr my friends.

    <<Corrected to whoopie hook>>

    Would you mind posting a picture of that for us newbies.
    I just got my Durch Argon hammock with whoopie hooks suspension and I have no idea what a UCR is or where on the hook to deburr.

    Oh snap!!

    Seems I should have updated/refresh the page before posting.

    So in essence no worries if you're going with Amsteel?

    All's fun and games until someones dynaglide snaps! I know, it's called lernin' round here! No complaints, just a word to the deburring wise.

    Were you hanging with dynaglide and a titanium hook (i.e. tarp hook? ), or a whoopie hook?

    My bad Whoopie hook would be correct.
