eno Whoopies

[RedBeardHanger]

Has anybody replaced their eno cord (that thick rope from fabric to biner) with Whoopies? I’m thinking of doing it but would like to see how it has worked for others first. I did replace the heavy biner that came with it to a light weight climbing biner.

many options with any channel end hammock like your ENO.
whoopies will do just fine, and give you lots of adjustment options.

have fun with the conversion

[Bubba]

No worries. Pretty common and frequently recommended modification.

love my conversion.. easy to adjust, easy to take off and put on at home or in the field.. great versatility and you can also use them for a non SRL

It was the first thing I did to it.:D

[Roadrunnr72]

I left the rope on my SN, but when I got my DN, that was the first thing I did.

[futbolfreak08]

I did it a while back. And have loved the difference. You can get the perfect angle and tension. Not to mention if weighs a lot less.

I was so blessed to be able to switch out the webbing about a week ago. They are pretty awesome! As soon as I get some tree hugger I will take the it to the woods. I see a diy project coming!

[L.D. Cakes]

Best thing I ever did. Then bought some better straps from AHE that don't stretch!

[pellet gun]

I sure did...

You can get a couple 6' pieces of webbing from walmart for like 1.99 a piece. They're in the camping section and have hardware on them, take them off and tie a loop on one end. If you have a sewing machine, sew one in. They haven't stretched on me so I assume they're polyester and I've had to use them in a pinch when I lost one my HG tree huggers. Worked nicely and in fact also used the same thing at the Ohio Winter Hang a few days ago. You can also use the toggles from a tent repair kit for like 2.99 and you get some seem sealer too! Hope this helps

I did and still lovin it. No problems for me with it.

Oh yeah. This is a must for weight reduction and ease of use. I actually just have a locked brummel eye on the end into the hammock, then the other end goes into the hugger finished off with a marlin spike hitch.

if you already switch to polyester or polypro webbing you no not need additional tree huggers....the webbing will go around the tree(assuming 1" wide)

I did it too. It only takes a couple of minutes. The benefits are in weight savings and faster setup.

Peace,

Quick and easy. Then pimp out your hang with Dutch Wear.:boggle::boggle:

[Happycamaper]

Just added whoppies to my dn, what a difference. I'm sorry i didn't do it sooner. Thanks AHE

What's the weight of a DN with like six foot whoopies?

The whoopies weigh next to nothing...especially compared to what it comes stocked with. As for the weight of the DN, I've never weighed it naked; without all of the stuff on it, but you could probably find at the manufacturer and/or Google it. Though our gram wienies can probably help you also. The whoopies are a great upgrade regardless.

I'm pretty sure the weight on their site includes those biners they sell with it.. That's why I'm curious what it weighs without or with whoopies.

[tncamper]

I pulled my old DN out and without original rope, bag still attached, and 1 set of whoopies it's 1.119 lbs. (17.904 oz) 508 grams.

[Southpaw]

Thanks tncamper. I might pick one of those up. They are very comfy.

[tncamper]

I love making my own stuff, but still have to pull it out every now and then. I definitely ain't gonna knockem.

[Southpaw]

I have thought about making my own, and I even sew but the material costs and time for me breaks even.

[tncamper]

You could shave a good bit if you dump the bag or the clips. I just assume leave it on though, its pretty handy. Also, DON'T get the slap straps.LOL I'm guessing you have heard about them.

[ewhammock]

I ran my whoopie through the channel twice - seems to take a bit of stress off the channel. Or you can whip the end and girth hitch the whoopies on behind the whip. Either way - worth getting rid of that heavy rope/hook combo!

[Southpaw]

I think whipping it gathered end style takes comfort out of a hammock. When someone makes a hammock with a cinched end, structural ridgeline and has the bug net taught like a blackbird or HH I'll have my perfect hammock.

Ah ha; I knew given enough time and proper bump you would obtain the answer you were looking for;)
