    question re: possible video

    I should have my new WB traveler hammock in today. I'm going to switch out the suspension to whoopies and replace the ridgeline as I did with the blackbird. I know there's not much in video on switching out the suspension with whoopies. Would you guys/gals like a definitive video from start to finish on how to do this?

    As a WBBB owner, I think it would be helpful. We talking the cinch buckles with the webbing? If so, I'll take them off your hands.

    I have been contemplating this mod but have been reluctant because of the simplicity of the webbing and cinch buckles (have the older version of cinch buckles that I like much better than the newer version). I have the whoopies already but really don't see the weight savings being significant enough to start fiddling with a good thing. Definitely don't see whoopies being easier or faster than dutch clips, webbing, and cinch buckles.

    However, the coolness factor is there and I am intrigued so I would really like to see a good, thorough video on the process. Maybe it might be enough to convince me to make the change.

    Yeah, what Muskrat said. Even bought some amsteel to make my own (yikes!), but just can't bring myself to mess with the War Chicken.
    “Simplicity in all things is the secret of the wilderness and one of its most valuable lessons. I think the matter of simplicity goes further than just food, equipment, and unnecessary gadgets; it goes into the matter of thoughts and objectives as well. When in the wilds, we must not carry our problems with us or the joy is lost.” -Sigurd Olson
