Whoopie slings and maybe tree huggers

[Cade]

I know I can get a pair for £11.50 but wondering if anyone can make or have them cheaper may want 4 sets if price is right

May also need 3 to 4 sets of tree huggers as well......

why do you despair?

I think at that price you may be better off trying climbers tape rather than amsteel. You can buy it from go outdoors etc it won't stretch or damage the trees but even that wont be much cheaper. Theres a lot of work goes into whoopee slings and huggers and the materials too so I doubt if you will get a positive answer here , I think you may be better off trying ro raise funds or trade something

Cheapest option? Buy a bulk order of dyneema/amsteel (talk to midnighthound of this parish) and make them yourself. It's not difficult.

Thanks for the replies guys, going to try something else and see how it goes. I like whoopie slings but these are just for my kids and wanted something weather proof for them.

Looking around i think i can just use some metal rings and and change a few things, won't be as adjustable but will be alot cheaper for the kids hammocks

I bulk buy genuine amsteel blue from a company called redden marine in the states. Bought about 500ft last time and I think it worked out about 45p a metre including postage and tax.
Whoopies are easy to make
