If I follow you correctly, yes, you can splice a Whoopie Hook onto a continuous loop. That’s not difficult. From there, you can attach the loop through the end of a hammock either by a Lark’s Head in an end channel or by doing a whipped end.

I have the same concern. All references I can find to fixed loops at the hammock end show a larks head. Is a double pass through the hammock end necessary, or would a single length with ends joined in a grapevine bend (ABOK #294) work? This would prevent the fixed loop separating from the hammock.

Also, how to get a whoopie hook on the spliced eye end of Amsteel? Would a larks head do the trick?

Thanks,

Matt

Mine keeps falling out and it’s a huge pain to get it back through again.

You can put the Whoopie Hooks on either side of the equation; they work equally well.

I have a set of dynaglide whoopies and extra amsteel, id like to use hooks but i wouldnt be able to install them on my current set of slings.
Best,
Jared

Thanks Tord. You’re a man after my own heart — DIY projects are fun, inspiring, and rewarding. Yes, the soft shackle should work just fine. Let me know how it goes!

Or in other words, finding different applications that can be solved by splicing projects 🙂 Just wanted to check first if the idea should be killed immediately.

The Eye On Eye sling toggle does seem an even simpler solution, but less splice-funny, thanks for the tip. Your blog is a great inspiration!
