I've got a bunch of them laying around. They're fun to make and use.
Which end does the soft shackle go on?

I mean like the adjustable end of the whoopie, just a random thought I had.

A similar project that may get the creative juices flowing.
I could see a soft shackle for the fixed eye on whoopie sling, but can't quite imagine it for the adjustable eye.
Thanks I guess I'm over thinking it a bit.

^^^^
Like this so you could just wrap it right around a tree for your tarp ridgeline or tie-outs and it would be adjustable.

I think you'll find that whoopies don't work too well on tarp ridgelines - very difficult to get the tension you need. I know - I tried. I could never get enough tension on the ridgeline to get my tarp taut.
You'll notice that most hammock use of whoopies are not used for high tension applications like a tarp ridgeline - neither hammock suspension or adjustable structural ridgelines are under a great deal of tension.
I'm not trying to discourage you from experimenting, however. Other people advised me against trying to use whoopies on tarp ridgelines and I didn't listen to them. Guess I had to learn it for myself (as I'm sure they did too).
When i first read this post, I thought you were talking about the fixed eye too and it sounded intriguing. However, the more I thought about it, I like the KISS methodology (keep it simple stupid) and you can't get much simpler than a fixed eye that can be larksheaded onto anything (or to which you can larkshead anything, including a continuous loop).
