I was thinking the test should be in freezing conditions outdoors, with a loaded, non-vertical Whoopie sling under tension.
I have a hard time comparing my hammock suspension, under load in rain and sleet, to a coiled piece of wet Amsteel in a freezer.

So, tonight I'm going to sleep out again (20* last night) on my deck. I will 'pre-soak' my whoopies and do a field test
Yes there will be padding under the hammock

"Padding under the hammock" might be a good idea my friend!... just in case
I too will something make and joy in it's making
You're brave...I agree with Mac...

"I fish because I love to; because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful... because, in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing things they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion; because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience...." --Robert Traver
Anyone have experience with a tautline hitch in icy conditions -- or any other friction knot, for that matter? I'd think they'd have similar problems, if there are any.

That doesnt suprize me, you guys got hammered down that way. We just got a dusting in Ludington.Neither does my car, but that froze solid shut yesterday.
Anything can freeze. Buckles to webbing or knots..just hold it in your hands for a second or two to thaw it out. Try to keep your stuff dry.
That will be the thrust of the mornings exercisesRunning Feather,
