Well, I figured out how to make a whoopie sling with a brummel on the other end. I really cannot believe how easy it is. I think the hardest part is trimming the ends for the taper just because Amsteel is tough to get through. So now I have probably 10 whoopies.
Is it just me, or did anyone else have some trepidation of suspending your whole weight on a 7/64 string that is not knotted to anything? I know the science is sound, everything is held by friction, but I have never used any small diameter cordage that holds more than a couple hundred pounds. I was pretty nervous about getting into my hammock the first time using whoopie slings.
