well i tried to look away.itried not to notice this fascinating new whoopie like suspension.i didn't want to try it ...but i did.i like it.i like that it shortens my hang space.
of course as with anything i could not just build mine like was first shown.i had to tweek it.ever since the nacra came out i have been making all my cord conections openable.then i made my whoopies so i could open the loop. here is how i made these openable.i have not spent more then 1 hour hanging from these ,but they are all installed and ready for the wi.hang this weekend.
12feet 7/64 with a large knot on the end.i tied a monkeyfist.
a hardware store ring
a 7/64 loop made from 28 inches of cord with 4 inch burys
larks head the amsteel loop onto your hammock or through the channels as shown.then wrap once around ring as per profesor hammocks video,to avoid the worst of the flattening.
place other line along side ring,with knot side away from hammock, and continue wrapping with the loop.
the last wrap will not leave enough room in the loop to get the knot in.so stop wrapping one wrap short.pass knot thru the ring and then thru the loop.then pull last loop thru ring with the knot .not so sure that makes sense...
but if done that way the knot will be locked in the loop unable to come out.
to open undo last step.
