    polyester webbing help

    hey guys i am new to hammocking and need help with polyester webbing. ive found different websites that sell it but at $1 or more. i an wanting to make a sort of slapstraps/woopie suspension system with it as im liking both of these methods. what i was thinking is having the webbing the length of the slapstrap but using the toggle to attach the woopie to it. is this a good idea or should i just pick one or the other?

    Personally I would pick the 1" poly webbing as the slapstraps stretch and you'll wind up on the ground. Check out Paul at AHE, I think he sells the straps. Go with them and you won't be disappointed.

    I don't see why you couldn't do it. I think it would be heavier, than just using webbing and a marlin spike. You would have a length of webbing, then the loops added to make a slapstrap type setup. I use these, and cut off the buckle.
