So my question stems from the "Hammock Introduction" Page on DIY Gear Supply located here:

I bought the required materials for Option 1: Whoopie Suspension but am very new to all this!

After searching high and low for my answer I figured it would be best to just ask!

After sewing the required loops into the webbing it should be able to handle the tension of the hammock via the whoopie slings and the carabiner? Is that what I am understanding from the picture?

Also, do I just loop one end of the webbing through the other around the tree, and repeat as necessary, depending on width between trees, diameter et cetera?

Finally, can I whip my hammock together with the whoopie sling or just use another piece of line? If the latter, would some paracord work fine?

Thank you for your help clearing up my ignorance!
