Spring MAHA ?: DIY Woopie Slings

[lazy river road]

Just for the record, 2.2mm Zing-It/Lash-It has a rating of 600 pounds (IIRC). Not the most suitable strength for a hammock suspension. Most whoopie slings are made from 7/64th or 1/8th Amsteel which has a strength rating of 1600 - 2500 pounds.

That being said, there is no reason not to splice the cord you have for hammock structural ridge lines, tarp ridge lines, tarp guy lines, etc.

Cheers

AAAHHHCCCCHHHHHHAAAAA !!!! Very good to know Brian. I will def splice my Tarp ridgeline BC I want to use toggles instead of biners. Also wanted to make a dead eye with it for bear baggin purposes. And now I guess ill either have to order some Amstell or just order woopie slings and tree straps from a cottage vendor. Probally the later bc Im lazy and like supporting the cottage industries but would still love to learn how to splice.

Hey Dutch, if you gots any xtra amsteel laying around id be more then happy to purchase it from ya to make me some woopies with. I know I could easily order woopies but their is def some self satisfaction in a DIY project reguardless how big or small it may be.
