Lets start with some Hammock set-up basics....  |

| Lets take a look at the parts of a whoopie sling....  |
Available Amsteel Blue Colors. Dynaglide Colors coming soon.....  |

The addition of the Adjustable Structural Ridgeline allows you to consistently hang your hammock no matter the distance between your anchor points. This gets incorporated into your hammock suspension at the hammock/suspension connection. Its basically a long whoopie sling that gives you a range of adjustment between 82" and 112". Most find their comfort around 100" so thats a good starting point. It doesnt take much adjustment to change the way your hammock hangs, so be conservative. Weight is .2 ounces. |

Toggles are cut from Easton Aluminum tubing and are used as an alternative to biners for connecting your slings to you webbing using the Marlin Spike Hitch. These will come with keeper strings attached. |
||
 |
Polyester webbing is 1" wide with a 1500 pound load rating. Available in either black or camo with 2" loops sewn in either end. |
||
Continuous loops are a spliced loop to be used as utility loops or to use in your suspension for attaching rings to your hammock, or anywhere you need a loop but dont want to trust a knot. These are available in any of the colors of Amsteel Blue and will be 12" end to end. The smaller 1.75mm loops are available in yellow or silver and are 3" end to end. The smaller loops are not to be used to bear your weight. |
|||
And finally, the "All in One." I named it this because it has all the elements of your hammock suspension combined in one continuous unit. Your slings are connected to your webbing using the fixed eye and a rope thimble. The adjustable end is connected to an aluminum ring which also has a continuous loop which you will use to attach the system to your hammock. |

The Soft Shackle is an ultralight biner replacement. Made from 7/64 Amsteel Blue and weighing in at 4 grams each. These do not carry the same load rating as the slings because of the stopper knot. But my testing shows they work fine for hammockers. These are not designed or intended to be used for fall arrest, fall restraint or to replace a climbing biner while climbing. |
