Dynaglide Whoopies

[SGT Rock]

Rock... Double the length of the bury, or at least add 50%.

Then, prior to loading the suspension, milk the bury down tight. The UCR will hold without a back-up. You just need copius amounts of bury.

I gave it about 10". Where my issue lays is milking the bury back enough to hold. Even times when I think I have it right I can be wrong. If I get it right it holds tight, but if I am just a little off about the time I swing my feet over into the hammock I get a slllliiiidddeee to the ground.

Add another 4" or so.

Add another 4" or so.

I may try making another set and do that. Thanks!

SGT... this is going to add weight... but you could fashion a loop in the end of the constrictor and add a piece of shockcord and run that back to your straps. This would back up the constrictor and not add a whole bunch of weight.

Actually I have thought about that.

It doesnt neet to be monster SC. All it need to do is add a little bit of tension to the backside.

OK... I have some DG back in stock.... For the UL crowd.

Reminder... You must be 250# or less.

Hmmm

I would quite like a set of dynaglide suspension whoopies for my DIY bridge, I weigh less than 12 stone, 168 lbs so no worries on the weight. However I use a fixed length cord attached to both which not only helps me get a good hang angle but also is what I will hang my midge netting and tarp from.

I'll work out some dimensions and shoot you an email, probably along with a sketch so you can understand my babbling
