I just got a GT Nano 7 for Christmas! Is it safe to use a Whoopie out of 7/64 Amsteel fed directly through the gathered end? I am 5'11" and weight 195-200, I just want to be sure the Amsteel won't rip the fabric.

just double or triple it through if you think it will be an issue
Congrats and enjoy the new hammock.

Congrats. I've wanted one for a long time and still don't know why I haven't pulled the trigger. Hopefully it works well for you. A couple wraps through the channel will do you fine.
A couple wraps through the channel seems to do it. I just did a test hang in the garage. Its got a lot of stretch, which seems more comfortable to me. It held my 200lbs fine and I got a good diagonal lay in it. The suspension seems to hold up well.
I only fed the amsteel through the end channel once and so far no problems. YMMV.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
I'm 6.1 and 220 and I just fed it through the "eye" loop of the WS and that was it. No issue thus far...that being said, I have since determined it is way too small for my length and broad shoulders for a good night sleep. So it has since been designated to being my day hike hammock. Super light, and compact-able and works great for taking breaks and eating lunch or a quick nap.
I miss my 4.8Lb base weight as a ground dweller...But I sure DON'T MISS the ground.
Just had me a 9' x 4.5' 1.1 ripstop hammock made and I'm stoked to give the 9' length a shot. I'm really partial to my 65" wide traveler but being only 5'7' I feel I need to atleast give a smaller hammock a shot for the sake of saving them ounces. I know the gtul works fine for me but it weighs as much as my traveler.
