I'm playing with my whoopie slings and made a little mod that may be intersting to you.
Dutch was kind enough to make extra long 8' slings for me (I had to hang once very asymetrically, long distance from one tree) and I have been thinking how to manage extra amsteel during normal hangs.
I have used very simple chain plait where you basically pull loop through a loop through a loop... Start at the top and finish off by pulling the end through the last loop - easily done by hand.

(Yes, I do know how to use a crochet
).
It does not go tight so very easy to unravel when you need that bit of extra.
Excellent stopper so the sling won't go inside itself.
Very very mittens friendly.
8' whoopies cost me extra 10-12 grams total...
Hope it helps someone.
