Set of whoopi slings

[Biker]

Just bought myself a DD travel hammock off of Mountainm and as a bit of homework I've been watching some vids about hammock set ups on youtube and figured whoopi slings is the way to go.

So here's me asking if anyone has a set or even makes them? Are they even easy to make as a DIY item?

I would prefer to pay someone here, than some faceless corporation, but will read any recommendations with interest.

I have cash, or stuff to trade if you'd prefer.

Thanks for reading.

My current set up involved using these type of cam buckled straps, which seemed to work perfectly fine.

Hey Aaron

I can make you some up for free if you get the dyneema over to me (they're actually pretty easy to make and a man of your talent would have no problem). Alternatively I believe you can get them from ukhammocks now.

Cheers

Mike

Thanks for the replies, Dave and Mike. As you may have guessed I am totally in the dark about these things.

I'll see about the DIY option if I can't trade a set off anyone here.

Have a butchers at those links. That is where I learned to do it.

Have a look at the closed loops as well. They can go through the end of the hammock, then attach via a soft shackle to the whoopie sling.

Thanks again for the replies. Just been watching a load of tutorials over at youtube and they look pi$$ easy to do. makes me feel like a dimiwit for starting this thread.

Shewie you are a gentleman, check your PMs. Though I would LOVE to have a go at making a set myself.

Yup, going to the Moot!!! Shaved me legs and nether regions, got the baby oil packed in sealed containers, still trying to buy the tuna though, just hope the rachet cable ties I have will be up to the spec.

Can't wait!

It was me last year, not going this year but I think someone else said they would do a tutorial on them.
