Using the whoopies, do you use the carabiner to connect the whoopies to your tree straps? Trying to get an idea of what system you're going from.

if you are thinking cinch buckle suspension(like dreamhammock or Dutch sells) with a carabiner or dutch clips, it is easiest and fastest. wrap tree, clip then do the other and tighten. whoopee slings are lighter and pack smaller. they aren't harder, but take more fiddle work than cinch buckle/strap.(for me)
go to Dutch's website, he has videos on almost everything for suspension set ups. then you can decide.
yes, whoopie to biner with shorter 2" straps on tree.Originally Posted by Rain Man
what i would like to try is to remove the whoopies off the hh and replace with the 1" straps used with a dutch clip, seem's like it would work, be quicker, thoughts? thks.
if i were to install straps on the hh with a dutch clip, i would have to wrap the straps to get proper angle then clip. i have 6 ft. 1" straps, i do not want to use string, or buckles. just strap on hh and dutch clip.
How would you adjust the length?
have you switched to a continuous loop through the whipped end? there is a tutorial for it
yes, i had to try a couple different strap, dutchware configs., but happily i am back with whoopies, biners and shorter tree straps, as you said, better adjust ability. thanks for the insight.
