    Yes yes yes!

    mUAHAHAHAH

    I got it!

    When you are a complete noob like myself, and you are trying to setup your woopie slings for the first time, its a bit confusing. But I doubled wrapped it in my ..whats it called.. the slot your cord goes through on the end of the hammock? I dont know, but one, I got it, that was hard, but TWO I figured out how to properly run the woopie through it - double wrap.

    Man that feels good to do it the right way. It was tough because I had no idea what I was doing, but I got it.

    At first it was but NOW it's


    Sorry for the spam and you all probably don't know what I have been dealing with, but I had to express my happiness somewhere!

    Peace (of pie)

    They can be confusing the first time. My first attempt had me laying on the ground. It turns out I didn't bury enough when I made them. Oops? It just goes back to rule#1: never hang higher than you're willing to fall.

    Good job though! Glad the slings made it to ya! Sorry it took so long.

    Channel or end channel. Glad you got it figured out. The first time I did this I watched a youtube video and THOUGHT I had done it right. Went out, hung it up and proceeded to slide down onto the ground. I thought, "Hmmm, something isn't right here!" Haha! Went back and rewatched it and discovered I had hung from the fixed eye instead of the adjustable end. I think some actually do this successfully. Apparently, I did not!

    Happy Hanging!!!
