    DIY adjustable ridgeline?

    I'd like to make a whoopie sling style adjustable ridge line. Could anyone tell me how long of a piece of Amsteel I'll need, and where I should place the bury?

    p0key,

    I used this spreadsheet when I made my first whoopie sling adjustable ridgeline.

    Whoopie Sling Excel Worksheet

    Good luck!

    Sincerely,

    How did you calculate the difference in the position of the burry? The doc places it up against the end of the fixed eye. That works for a sling but a ridge line does not need much more than 24" of adjustability but needs an overall length of about 110". The doc does not allow you to add in length between the eye and burry.
