Whoopie slings rely on the load in the hammock to constrict, and therefore hold fast.

This eliminates the ability to adjust while under load.

Get your structural ridgeline length dialed in using an adjustable ridgeline. Then replace it with a fixed ridgeline of that length.

When deploying in the field, string up the hammock with just enough tension to keep the ridgeline straight. Do this by pressing down on the middle of the fabric (where you would sit). No need to jump in & out of the hammock.

Once the ridgeline tension is correct, make sure that sure hand is about 18" off the ground when you press down the hammock.

Adjust the height of the tree straps to make it 18", remembering to have the foot end a few inches higher than the head.
