I've recently re-whipped my hammocks using Knotty's (or Warbonnet's) method secured with a square knot, BUT I leave long tails so I can easily re-tighten or even re-tie if I need to. I've had Warbonnet stock whipping come a loose and it's a pain to re-tie when the tails are cut off. I recommend leaving some tails to work with.
