    Thank you so much, I've been using these straps for 4 years and as of now I found out that they were adjustable. You are an absolute life saver, and a king👑👑👑

    Thanks for this, as you know I need a new system. I have whoopies on my old hammock, and will be adding them to my new hammock...WOW Just checked out the link, I did not realize the whoopie sling came with the straps..great deal!! I removed all cordage from my old hammock replacing with the whoopie to cut weight...I am sure the same could be done with this. Thanks for sharing!!

    Thank you for the demo. No one at REI could explain how it worked. Bought them today to go with my new ENO sub6 hammock. Love my Atlas straps, but they were a bit heavy on my Pacific Crest Trail hike this year.

    • @greatamericansurvival
      @greatamericansurvival  6 лет назад

      Phoenix Genesis Thanks for taking time to comment. So glad it helped. The only negative about these straps is length. If you into issues, there are lots of companies that make much longer whoopie slings. You can even install them through the gathered ends of your hammock to Shave some more weight.

      Great American Survival I just carry along the Therm-a-rest tree straps or ENO extension straps to get a bit more length. Requires 2 extra carabiners, but I use the lightweight ones.

      Great American Survival That is still a major accomplishment!!! This is my 3rd year practicing for a thru-hike - shaving weight, troubleshooting problems on the trail, and balancing being away from home and work and family. Hopefully, 2019 will be the year. This year, I will probably only be able to finish the Sierras, but love being in a hammock this year over a tent. In my Sub6 now typing this!

    Hey Marvin. I'm more of a tent backpacker, but I do use my hammock for relaxing and the occasional trip. I did a video on using a simple nylon strap with a sewn in loop and do a simple slip hitch knot. I save the weight of carabiners and get the straps from a cheap set of cam buckle loading straps. The tag end I tie back up about a foot away from the hammock and rain runs down the loop instead of getting me soaked. Anyway....great review, and always cool to see what others are doing. Take care.

  • @heathschwab
    @heathschwab 6 лет назад +1

    That is cool I've seen a few use on here and love it. Of course it would never hold no one like me. But very cool. Summers getting closer I'll need to find me one. But I got a way to use a hammock without trees. If you was to watch the trailer I'm working on for my yard sale slash camper. I can go from one corner to the other corner on the other side so I do want to try. But if possable to make work could make 2 fit but may only work for 2 smaller people. But I'll find 2 good ones me and my daughter. But thanks for sharing deff a good way to make easier. Have a good week god bless

  • @Ichihiro36
    @Ichihiro36 Год назад +1

    150 lbs each does add, meaning if you use both of the straps (like most people almost always do) then the total weight capacity would be 300 lbs. Still, for two grown adults, that's not much room for error (ie bad hangle [my word for hanging angle])... but if you're both light people, it could definitely work.

    • @MoswenMedia
      @MoswenMedia 7 месяцев назад

      150 pounds is the insurance working load lol. That's what the legal team told them to rate them at. I imagine they wouldn't even fail at 500lbs. As long as you're not jumping up and down on them lol.

    So, there's no way to permanently attach it to the hammock so you can use a snakeskin?
    Wait... I guess with a stick you can use it like a toggle (Marlin spike) to lock it on the tree... what is the max length of the cordage and the length of the actual strap that goes around the tree?
    Second thing... please tell me you were just demonstrating with a cheapo backyard hammock... I say that b/c you talked about the importance of saving those 7oz, then had those crappy heavy carabiners? Just was kinda comical... ROFL, thanks for the review and showing it

    • @greatamericansurvival
      @greatamericansurvival  4 года назад

      Hahaha. No I have a lot of different hammocks. Everything from Cheap China to Custom Cottage companies, heck I even have a few my mom made me back in the 80’s. You could attach it to the hammock but like you said you’d have to use a toggle at some point to close to loop around the tree. I have a few high end titanium toggles and basic wooden ones I use. What hammock are you using?

    • @j.sargent9172
      @j.sargent9172 3 года назад

      If you use Dutch clips or a carabiner on the part that goes around the tree you can leave it permanently attached to hammock. If you're going to use a marlin spike all you need is webbing then. None of the extra stuff does you any good. Dutchware and hammock gear have good toggles to use made from titanium and or u can cut a carbon fiber arrow.

      We have a very interesting relationship. Most people do sleep like us. Now in the summer trips she wants her own hammock but still hang from the same trees. Unless it’s just the two of us camping. We always spoon have shared a twin camper bed for years. It helps that she’s tiny basically a carryon.

    Is this product aimed at the US market or what? Why the need for a 'connect hammock here' tag. If this is not blatantly obvious to you, you would have to be totally out to lunch and a liability to yourself anywhere near a hammock. I really like my ENO double nest despite it being terribly over priced here in the UK but this product truly extracts the urine for sure. What is exactly is wrong with making the whoopie slings from dyneema cord yourself and learning something in the process? There are tons of rather excellent youtube videos out there showing you exactly how and there is absolutely bugger all to it.

      @@greatamericansurvival I have an ENO double nest hammock that i have teamed up with a DD hammocks underquilt and 3x3 rain tarp for winter use with an additional lighter weight diamond tarp for summer use plus a DIY modified down sleeping bag topquilt and occasional use outdoor blanket. Additionaly i use a dyneema ridgeline tensioned like wire rope with two loop aliens to string the tarp up from. I used to use the ENO pocket loop web straps when i started out but found them to be just to plain bulky and heavy over time especially when packed wet. I just use the much lighter whoopie slings now in combination with minimal tree hugger straps. The ENO python straps are quite plainly over engineered and heavy for what they do. Hats off for use of the structural ridgeline btw. You would be amazed by the amount of people i have seen overtensioning hammocks and tearing them. It is an absolute must for twilight and stealth fly camping as it is often impossible to the get the perfect 30° dwell angle on the suspension webs or whoopie slings in fading light

  • @charlietango1635
    @charlietango1635 6 лет назад +1

    Hi there my friend, I am sorry but I have to disagree with regards to your whoopie slings in so much as the Berry is far too short and there for could slip, also the fixed loop is far too small, how they work is the amsteel is threaded through itself forming the berry, and this needs to be at least 9 or 10 inches long, you have to hold one end of the berry to make it longer, or hold the other end of the berry to make it shorter, then slide your finger and thumb along the berry to lock it off, I am only giving you my opinion before you learn the hard way.

      CharlieTango 1- Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate your info, I've really enjoyed using Whoopie slings also with several of my other hammocks even a few I've made. What kind of hammock do you use? What part of the country are you in? I'm in Georgia and have been using my Dutch Wear Chameleon with the cinch buckles, they can handle more weight so me and my wife can share our hammock. But I have a great pair of whoopies in my Warbonnet Blackbird XL.
