    Good stuff. My 11 footers make the space tight for whoopies sometimes. Gonna move to loop aliens and be done with it.

    Nice.. watched them yesterday.

    I'm still fully committed to the Loop Aliens on both hammock and tarps
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    Great videos! The tree hugger dogbone extension vid was helpful and I'm sure will come into play here in the pnw. And I didn't realize how versitle LAs are until watching your videos, even more so than whoopie slings. I'm planning my suspension and was about to buy whoopies, but you may have sold me on LAs. Thanks for taking the time to post your vids!

    Any idea on the weight rating for the LA suspension?
