    Question Whoopie!

    I'm converting my ENO singlenest to whoopie slings, and i was just wondering whether it would damage the hammock or not if i just lark head's the whoopie in the suspension channel. Maybe the thin line will tear the fabric, or wear it down over time? For anybody who has done this, please let me know. Thank you all for any advice.

    I did that on my DN. But I ran the line through the Channel twice as I saw in a video. So for know issues.

    It depends how thick your whoppie line is. What are you using? I know I read somewhere, can't remember where, but I think it was Sgt rock who said that he wraps that part of thhe whoopie in gutted paracord. of course you can only do that if you myog. .

    Another thought you may want to consider is having a water break in your line. So I recommend using a continuous loop with hardware attaching it to the whoppie, if you can afford it financially and weight wise.

    That being said, I'm probably going to tie scrap cotton on the line to break the water flow

    Gather it with a long zip tie and Larkshead around the gather. On my DIY's I whip a knot and then Larkshead that, Haven't worn a tablecloth out yet.
