    Hammock end suspension

    Wondering if anyone has insight if a continuous loop or dogbone works best for the end of a sewn channel hammock that attaches to dutch biner to whoopie sling suspension?

    Dogbones will be longer, if using the standard measurements and recommended buries. Therefore, I use continuous loops to keep from lengthening the hammock.

    If your using a whoopie in the traditional way then there is no reason to add either a extension or a loop.

    I use whoopie hooks, so the dogbone is definitely longer.
