Having trouble viewing these, I think it's the YouTube app keeps pausing over and over. I'll try the normal site.

Normal site worked perfect, weird. So that little whoopie sling will hold my 220lb booty eh? And how do you get the right whoopiesling for your hammock? Is it designed to keep the ridgeline taught all on its own or is there some adjustment I have to do? Once the ridgeline is taught I just stake down the tarp over it and I'm good? I ask cause I'm in Germany and I can't view some of Shugs videos from here.
Yeah it will. Any whoopie sling you buy will be more or less the same.
There is no structural ridgeline in the dd hammock unless you install one yourself (will involve poking a small hole in the bug net at each end I think) but the ridgeline is kept taught by the angle you have the suspension because a ridgeline is usually attached to the whoopies or continuous loop at the ends.
Dutch's whoopie hooks rock just found a place in my house where I will return to often I use the 6 ft tree straps.
Bacon and Camping makes me happy.

I camp in bear country and I am a bear Burrito.
Perhaps amsteel with loop on each end to wrap the tree, carabiner thru loops, and rappel rings for web hammock lines. real simple
I use amsteel line for tarp with loop on one end, small carabiner to wrap around tree and clip to tarp, similar other end only with prussic knot and carabiner to take up slack.

I made my tarp line similar to that shown in the diagram, pretty easy to do.
