    like a UCR eating it's own tail?

    Thinking of swapping them for the continuous loops on my home tablecloth hammock, which I use to hook directly to the wall hooks.
    If I could adjust them easily I could change the sag with ease.

    Come to think of it, why hook a whoopie sling to a continuous loop on the end of your hammock? This could serve for both.

    How short can you make a safe whoopie?
    This can go down to 4.5 inch loop (9" bury), and a lot of that will be used up by the larks head around the hammock end. So I'm hoping I can adjust from a 1" eye directly off the end of the hammock (for a narrow room), to a loop as long as I make it (potentially unlimited).

    Oh I get it, I don't rig mine like that so I wasn't picturing what you meant.

    But can you hang a hammock with a ten foot ridgeline in a room with 10'6" between anchors with your whoopies?
