Mosketo Kakoon Suspension Questions

[billvann]

My daughter and her boy friend pick up a pair of Kakoon hammocks. I purchases a pair of double whoopie hooks suspensions so they can hang from the same pair of trees. But I still have several questions I could use some input on from forum members..

1. The ends have a cord run through a channel on the end that's knotted together to form a loop (see pic). I can feed a continuous look through the channel but I'm not sure of the best way to tie it off. A larks head would likely just slide apart. And recommendations for a better knot.

2. There's no ridge line. Should I add an adjustable ridge line to this rig? And since the body and netting are sewn up at the ends, would I attach each end on the the afore mentioned continuous loops at each end? The ridge line could then run through the tree loops on the bug netting to hold that up, although it's cut to be pulled up higher that this ridge line would run so the netting would be "baggy.," nut I think there would still be enough headroom inside.

3. They provide a string tp connect to your two trees and run through three loops to hold up the bug netting. If I don't add a ridge line and if they hang from the same two trees with a spreader bar at the head end, the netting suspension line will run between them instead of above the centerline of each hammock. These lines hold just the weight of the netting so I was thinking of rigging a spreader bar for these lines too. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Here's a picture of the rig to help visualize the issues.

I picked up a really similar hammock as well, I'm just going to use continuous loops and then mule tape suspension.

unsure how i'm going to deal with the ridgeline yet either, so kinda watching you

Thanks, FootPathOne. I already picked up Dutch's Double Whoopie Hook suspension so they can hang together from the same tree/ (THey're still in love!) It also will save them money as they can get by with one tarp for a while. https://dutchwaregear.com/double-who...-complete.html

For a single hammock hang I was thinking you could use a tarp's continuous ridge line to clip on some thin shock cord to clip to the three netting tie outs. But that wouldn't work for a double hang.

I changed out my son's and just lark head the continuous loops through the end channel works great and tightens up nice once you hang in it

Thanks, themadindian. Just what I needed to hear.

I found a pic, he uses a descender ring lark's headed first and then a 2nd on the continuous loops to the hammock. He ran that for a year or so and says he is now swapping out the atlas straps and carabiner for a whoopie sling setup. He's also 6'3" to give you an idea of available room
