wwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooopppppppp ppppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee slings. That must be the sound we all make the first time we make our own.

one down, one to go. Its nice when you can stun you son. He played with my completed one for 30 minutes. Couldn't believe it worked.

My dad didn't care when he saw me making them. Then when i was lending my brother a hammock and showing him how everything worked my dad was impressed.

Good work

second one done. My son was asking me to make a lasso. Now he want me to show him how to make whoopies. One big problem... I am out of amstel. I will be making some diy purchases soon.

I wish I had the bead that bias put on the campers whoopies I got, but can anyone recommend something to crimp or stick on the loop to prevent the loop from closing.

Many people just use plastic zip ties to keep the loop from getting sucked into the bury. Works for me.

We use a plastic bead, but now that they are made the plastic zip tie is a pretty good idea.

I think I like the grizz whipping knot. Duel purpose.

I tie a loop of mason's line or zing-it to my toggles and through the whoopie loop... no lost whoopie loops and my toggles are always where I need them...
