Gadget, I'm not clear what kind of stand you're using, but it's a good point - use whatever works with your equipment and helps you get the result you want.

I do a 4" to 6" bury and have never had an issue. And it takes off about 6" to 12" off my minimum distance.Originally Posted by hammer0419

I run loopies on my hammock stand in the house, cuz I can make them as short as I need and I can leave them there and just take the hammock and not have to adjust anything when I put it back.
In the "wild" when using either UCR's or whoopies and minimum hang distance is an issue, I actually make them longer and make multiple passes between the hammock and the toggle. Minimum hang distance is basically a myth, at least in reference to whoopies or UCR's.
Good luck,

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace without end to you.
