Hey opie, I was wondering would threadding the whoopie sling threw the channel puts excess tention on the fabric??

[jons4real]

Is this still your best option? I mean do you still use this method or have you moved onto something else?

@jons4real

Jon, sorry I didnt see your previous note!! Yes, for channel end hammocks this is the easiest way. Some folks will whip their channel end hammock and then attach the slings the same way you would on something like a Blackbird.

@opie0074 question.... Does it matter what kind of knots you use when attaching rings to the eno? I havent replaced the stock rope yet so when I added my rings I just undid all the knots, added the rings, retied everything the was it was originally. I notice that most people put two wraps areound the rings. Mine are only wrapped once, does that matter? Thanks opie

@terrydodson58

Terry, I didnt get notice of your post either.... Are you still in need of pictures?

[terrydodson58]

@opie0074 I would like to see them if you don't mind sending them to me. Also do you have pics on how to make a good loop on both ends of a short piece of amsteel, maybe 2 or 3 foot long?

[MrSweetieJayDub]

Sure did, thanks for the emails!

[MrSweetieJayDub]

can you post a video of how to fully hang an eno with the whoopie slings? With very close specific videos of attachments to trees and whatnot.

I'm trying to get an idea about how best to use the product, but can't seem to get it based on pictures I can find.

Thanks!

Jay... Hopefully the pictures I sent you clarify things. Uploading vids is a painful ordeal with my upload speeds.

@opie0074 Any chance I can get a copy of those instructional pics?
