    minimum 3/16 Amsteel

    Would like to buy enough Amsteel to splice two slings.
    I'm thinking 25 foot would do it but I'm open to suggestions.
    Minimum 3/16 but larger diameter is welcomed.

    I'm wondering why you want 3/16 , since most whoopie slings are 7/64 and some hammock campers including me use 1/8. I reckon you are going heavy duty to make a suspension that will hold your tribe in one heavy duty hammock or to reach a longer span at a flatter hang angle.
    Regardless good luck and kindest regards to you

    You're correct, this will be a family hammock.
