    whoopie sling question

    I used whoopie slings for the first time. I milked the bury and I did not fall. Slept really well in my new Lite Owl. What's the best way to "free up' the whoopie sling after a night of weight hanging on it? Thanks.

    Just lift the weight off...and pull. Place your hand on the standing line at the top or bottom of the burry depending on which way your going and tug on the running side of the line...the side that runs though the burry. When you pull you will break the tension in the burry and it should slide nice and easy. Just like Chines finger traps that the burry functions like you need to push the bury together somewhat to alow it to release the tension.

    Hold the base of the adjustable bury at whichever end you want to pull the line through and it releases as you pull.
