    Is what you are explaining what you mean in this photo?

    Ok thanks.

    So basically cut the white ridgeline, tie a knot it in, put the WS through the knot and it should be good-to-go.

    Now I know that the ridgeline has to have a certain "tightness"... which I guess the hangline would normally handle... so, when I do the snipping off of the whitecord, should it be fairly tight inside the hammock pod or fairly loose, or kindle in the middle.

    brandon should just sell them setup with ws :-p LOL save us newbs having to learn the hard way. lol

    You don't have to cut anything... The ridgeline ends are already tied into a loop, and that loop is what exits the whipping. All you have to do is be sure your WS goes through it.

    Anyway, thanks for the help!!

    yes, don't cut anything, you can only see the tip of the RL sticking out, but if you pull on it, it will come out a couple inches, enough for you to work with it
