While I was looking for load straps for a trailer, something caught my eye, so I clicked and I was surprised to find...

Man oh man look at that price. I wanna make whoopies for them.

Yup. Whoopies with small diameter lines are the hammock adaptation of the heavy duty stuff that riggers and arbortists have been using for some time now.

I wonder how much of that $$$ is liabiltiy insurance. Sling slips because someone used it improperly, kills someone. In court, the attorneys always win. Aside from that, yes, sounds lucrative.

As an Arborist I use whoopies, as a hammocker I use whoopies.

Hurracane Earl just came to my city and boy was I BUSY! Now that we have things cleaned up I can go on a hammock hang that has been planned for tommorrow night.

Today I used my DIY 3/4" whoopie slings to rig tons of tree sections over my head. Tommorrow I will be useing my DIY 1.8mm whoopie slings to rig myself a few feet off the ground.

As far as purchasing my rigging tools for work, it just has to work and with a huge safe work load limit. If I have a failure at work I probably won't be around to sue any one! Or I will be in the market to replace an expensive truck, chipper or paying to replace some ones house. I just hope I don't need to replace co-worker!

If I have a failure with my hammock whoopie I may have a bruised ego or other bruises.
