I went with whoopies for a whole season until I ran into a set of trees that were too close together to accomodate my whoopies (8 foot hammock length + a couple of inches room for marlinspike hitch at the tree + 2 feet minimum whoopie length = 12'6'' minimum hanging distance), switched right back to webbing due to the limitless shortening (lengthening can be accomplished with extenders) - different strokes for different folks.
To lighten up your descender ring weight by half, put only 1 at each end instead of 2. Use the method at 2:00 of
this video and you still have all the adjustability and half the weight of the rings.
Nice setup all in all. I have the forest green UL and the blue for my wife for backyard lounging. Great hammock for the price.
