    Thanks for the ideas. I just switched out suspension on my DIY hammock and my WBBB to use a similar set-up. I used 1/4" clear vinyl tubing to sleeve the 7/64 amsteel where the whoopie slings loop through the eye of the webbing.

    I use a soft shackle (like Opie shows in his thread) made from 7/64 amsteel in lieu of the dutch clip. For my soft shackles I add a small loop of Zing It in the closed loop to help me open the closed end when its tightened.

    Its been relatively popular. I had some aprehension about flipping the sling around, but so far no complaints.

    So the adjustable loop doesnt inadvertently turn into a backsplice. i.e. get pulled into itself.
