There are only three steps needed to setup a whoopie sling and suspend your hammock. First, attach the small fixed eye to your hammock (via a knot, carabiner, etc). Second, attach the larger adjustable loop to your tree straps. Third, adjust to the optimal length and desired tension of your hammock.
Are DD Hammocks any good?
It was comfortable to sleep in – especially when a mattress is used. This makes the hammock less constricting. Combined with the cost of the hammock, it is still cheaper than most single-person tents. Verdict: The DD Frontline is a good option for those looking for an alternative to tenting in the bush.
What is a Loopie sling?
Loopie Slings are adjustable continuous loop slings made from Samson Tenex rope that makes knotless rigging possible. One of the most popular uses of this sling is to attach a block at the top of the tree without having to tie a knot. When weight is applied to the sling, the outer core tightens on the rope.
