    Whoopie Slings?

    What do I connect them to? Do they connect right to the tree straps?
    Can't we all just 'Hang' along?

    With either a toggle and a Marlin Spike Hitch, or a biner. Yes, right to the webbing.

    The fixed eye gets attached to your hammock and the adjustable loop to your webbing.

    I got carabiners from here http://www.treklightgear.com/catalog...-Pair-7p15.htm

    trek light gear, I bought 2 pair not knowing if I really needed 2 pair but figured I might. Well I also ended up putting whoopies on my tarp and the extra pair went there. I connect the biners to my tree strap. I find the biners to be a time saver especially if it's either dark or raining when I set up camp.

    You'll have to fill me in on what a nacrabiner is and how to use it. Thanks again.

    I got my Amsteel and rings today, thanks! I was wondering about the nacrabiners. Are you sending those in a separate package? I'm anxious to know how to use them. Thanks again Paul for all your great help.
