7/64 amsteel is strong enough for me using Whoopie Slings. But I just tried some UCRs I made and it slipped right away.
I am 6'2" 325lbs (sigh), and often hang on trees too far apart. I did a 10 inch bury, and when I tested it this past weekend, it failed. As soon as my weight was in the hammock fully I slowly slid to the ground.
Do I need to go up in size amsteel, not for the strength of the line but for the size of the bury?
