The nano-7 came in while I was eating Low Country Boil. Whoopies also arrived.
I simply removed the OEM biners and threaded through the whoopies into the channel then did the larks head....at 194-196 pounds am I good with whoopies in the channels? I'd hate to fall and crack the earth and promulgate a chain of tectonic events that might threaten us all.
That should work fine; it's what I did and I've had no problems.
I am assuming that you are using Dynaglide for the whoopies since you mention the weight!? If so you should be fine, remember that Gargoyle is/has been using them for quite some time with no problems!!
I have the Nano with Dynaglide whoopies and I took some paracord (just the outer sheath) and slid it over the whoopie (fixed eye end) to add a little more protection to the channel's as I felt the material felt rather thin and was worried about the Dynaglide wearing through it, no problems yet and have had it set up a few time's! I think it was Srg. Rock whom mentioned using some paracord sheaths!
Just add a half hitch below the gathered end knot, and you will have peace.

Yep, I did para cord. I don't know it it is necessary but it gave me some piece of mind.
Hmmm, there is no gathered end knot on my Nano-7.
The lump that results from gathering is what I call a knot. I use the line that runs through the channel to put a clove hitch below it.Originally Posted by MedicineMan

MM, at 275 Ive never had a problem attaching them the way you have.
