    Made some whoopie slings!

    This was my first attempt at making whoopie slings, I uses 7/64 Amsteel (Blue).
    I made two equal length an I have a section that I plan to make an adjustable
    ridgeline from structural length to nonstructural length (long enough to reach
    both trees for a tarp)

    They are the same length, approx 12' or so? not too sure.


    I locked the end so they wouldn't slip through.


    The friction lock/loop end.


    In the loop I threaded a piece of amsteel in place of a bead.


    Thanks for all the great information guys!!

    I'm going to try this soon. I saw a guy use tape on the end instead of using a fish wire.

    How would you use tape? would that be any easier? I fount using a length of regular crafting wire to be relatively easy, on the second whoopie there is mos def a technique to this.
