Anyone ever permanently attach whoopie sling

[gmcttr]

I removed my stock spectra cordage. I had larksheaded through the channel, but the 3" loop seemed too snug with potential for friction issues.

I created a few small continuous loops, those sit in the channel and I larkshead through each exposed end of that. I am not larksheading the continuous loop to the hammock, only running it through the channel.

If anything, I suspect you have done the opposite of your intentions.

A tight larks head between the rope and hammock means there is no movement between the two and therefore no damaging friction. Leaving the loop loose in the channel allows movement between the two and therefore the possibility of damaging friction. In reality the friction/damage is negligible but will be greater than the direct larks head.

Hmm good point.

End result I made 2 sets of Whoopie slings and an 2 adjustable ridgeline (we have 2 hammocks) once I get them installed i'll post a picture up.
