whoopie and structural ridge-line

[Jim S]

I hope some of you find this to be of interest. I ordered 45' of 4,000 lb spectra from ebay for $9.99 + shipping and got it last night. I made a 10' (124") structural ridge-line and I show how I spliced it. Next I replaced the end ropes of my gathered end hammock with spectra and put constrictors on them. The maximum length of hammock and extended constrictor sling is 147" and the minimum in 134" or in other word there is 10 to 23 inches more available length to the hammock than the ridge-line. There is a ring on the pull end of each whoopie.
finished:











The pull ring is on the whoopie to tighten the hammock (shorten) one on each end
