Hey all. I am new to the forum and wanted to shoot my first question out there. I recently put together a simple 1.9 ripstop hammock with para-cord whipped ends. I wanted the suspension to be simple for my first hammock so I just ordered a length of 1" Polypro webbing with a 6" loop in the end to larks-head around the hammock material and do a Speer 4 wrap to the tree.
The larks-head didn't seem to be very tight (despite my pulling/tightening) during the 1st hang, which led to the knot sliding into the whipping. I've read that the whipping is not supposed to be weight bearing, so I was a little concerned if this was safe.
Is this normal? If not, what do you recommend I do to remedy this?
Thank you for the help.
