From what I've read, ~ 1000lbs breaking strength for your suspension is kind of your target. The Amsteel 7/64 is 1600 and the 1/8 is 2300 (if I remember correctly, but that can be verified on the...

My setup (for now ;) ) is:
Hammock -->continuous loop --> aluminum ring rated at 1000lbs attached to the CL via the pass-through larks head method-->whoopie sling (normal larks head). I then put a...

I use them for modularity because I always change my mind about what suspension I want. I've installed them on my gathered end sewn channel hammock and my Hennessy. They also provide a nice spot to...

I use 12' per whoopie, 40" per continuous loop (never made soft shackles, but they must be similar) and your ridgeline should be about 83% of your hammock length (~110")

Sorry. I wasn't very clear. I start out with 12' of Amsteel as raw material. My finished product is ~ 5.5 feet long on each side with about 4 feet of it as the adjustable loop. I'm not looking at it...

I don't have a GT SBP, but I do have a gathered end hammock with a channel sown in it. I used 40" of 7/64 Amsteel to make a continuous loop for each end which I then threaded through the channel. ...
