Last two 10m rolls of this most excellent webbing, who wants them? Rated at 1200kg, it won't let you down with a bump! £5+£1.50 postage for a roll.

Yep, saves getting stung for small parcel as it is 25mm webbing! I did go over the weight boundary with too much cardboard with the last one though which cost an extra 30p! Thanks for letting me know.

Used it for the first time this weekend at Gilwell and it worked great
It's good stuff, even supports my weight! Thanks for the feedback.

Arrived today, looks the bees knees, at last something that fits my dutch buckles that never got webbing for

Great, ta for letting me know.
And for those that don't know what a Dutch Buckle is:

Personally I use a small crab or M.Rapide. Make a loop of the webbing and push it up through the centre, flip it over the end and pull the crab down to tighten, really really simple. Clip the whoopie on and you are good to go. The whoopie will adjust more easily on the crab than on a spike hitch and the crab will adjust easily along the length of the webbing too. Using 3m+ long 25mm tree huggers with a sewn loop in the tree end you get lots of adjustment. The crabs can also be used for other things if needed.

Perhaps not the cleverest of strategies, as it relies on the stitching, but I just loop the whoopi sling through itself and through the loop on the tree hugger. Shove a stick about 1" diameter inside the whoopi sling loop so that it does not crush the webbing or below impossible to undo.
Interesting idea with the stick but my whoopie is already attached to the hammock. I can't really picture what it is accomplishing or looks like. The only stitching involved is the pinched loop tight against the tree and if you can't rely on that then there is a serious problem with the design of slings!
I haven't seen a simpler more convenient and robust system for using tree straps and whoopies than mine yet. Perhaps I'll find my camera and take some pics.

When I do it, the hammock end of the whoopi is linked to the hammock via a carabiner. One of the ideas of this that being it provides a water break, as well as quick setup/takedown.
The shoving the stick in came about from forgetting (at the time) how to to a Marlinspike and improvising. I can get a bit lazy when something works OK.
