Straps,Toggles and Whoopie Slings

[Krow Hop]

I've been using them for a while now but could someone help break down their functions other than the connection part or provide a good link to a prior thread?

Tree hugger straps raise and lower the the head and foot ends?

How does moving toggles up or down the tree strap affect things?

Whoopie slings are for tension?

I recebtly wrote an article HERE talking about hammocks and suspension for beginners, and whoopie slings are covered in the article.

Also another forum member just posted a video on suspension HERE.

Also I recently discovered that the toggle itself isn't really necessary, it's the knot that matters. See the video HERE.
