Heres one for the Gram weenies among us (me being one)
Im in the process of making some "poop Hammocks" as i call them.
Basically a small hammock with a big hole in the middle that is used for a toilet while camping.

And i got to thinking about the suspension setup for it.
I dont want to be taking an extra set of tree huggers, whoopies and 2 extra carabiners just incase i need to go poopie while out.
So i pondered for a while and came up with the open ended whoopie sling.
Basically it cuts out the need for the extra tree straps and carabiners.

Its hard to describe without pics but it has a spliced loop(for a larkshead) with a 1m tail for attachment to the hammock,
then a spliced Dutchware whoopie hook with a 2m tail on the end.
Then the tails from both lenghts are pulled through just like a whoopie sling so you get adjustable suspension.......

The 2m length with hook goes around the tree and clips to itself then the tail/splice hangs down and connects to the Poop Hammock and Voila................The POOPIE Sling........lol

Its frigging genius..........honestly i amaze myself sometimes.

I will post pics when i next get out.
