I made a bunch of these at a demo I did for a hammock camping group. Super lightweight way to hang a hammock (1.4 oz/pair). Adjustable from about 18" to over 6 feet. Made of 7/64 Amsteel rated at 1600 lbs. If you use a marlin spike hitch to attach a toggle to the tree straps you can hang a hammock without any hardware. A buried/sewn eye splice allows for easy attachment to the hammock. A video entitled hammock suspensions part 3 on youtube and hammockforums.com explains how to use them. Photos of the sling are on my proflie, if I can figure out how to post them here I will. $15/pair shipped. Paypal or check

Lazy, count me in for another pair for my new Warbonet Traveler hammock! Just wanted to say that Lazy makes some great Whoopies...wait that didn't sound right. These whoopies slings are all the rage in the hammock world because they're super lightweight and very strong. It's a very simple and cool design that uses no hardware...just the rope itself. Layboy made a set for one of my hammocks and I've been testing it for the past couple of months in the backyard. I'm very impressed, check out the video and pictures. It's a great way to cut some weight from your hammock setup.
