Here's a link that should answer all your questions on Whoopies.

Also check out the rest of the stickies in suspension and you will be learned. Happy hangin...

Congrats, There seems to have been a post a while back about whoopie lengths we carry being to long. I recently went to the "no hardware" setup by Griz...

Can you point me towards Griz' no hardware setup? I would like to hear more.

edit: Ahh, it appears Grizz is Professorhammock. I believe I found it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sUfGqudl_8

I also carry a short length of Amsteel (3 or 4 feet) with two loops, one on each end. That way, I can easily lengthen either a tree strap or a whoopie.

Otherwise, I use it to hang my pack off the ground.

Handy and multi-functional.

Let's see a pic of that contraption.

I'd cut it in half and take one half and cut it in half again. That will give you enough for two 6 foot whoopie slings with some left for future projects.

I agree with you on the red. More often than not, it is pink. Wish Samson Rope would correct that.

Great video by Grizz. I just haven't got any skill at making diamond knots, so I avoid them.
