Dan demonstrates how to fit and use our DD Whoopie Sling suspension kit. Totally adjustable and very lightweight, it's a brilliant hammock suspension system. It's simpler than it looks! For more info please go to www.ddhammocks....
Tip: If you have webbing already threaded through the sleeve of the hammock (it normally is), tie the whoopie cord onto one end of the webbing then pull the webbing out of the sleeve using the other end of the webbing. As the webbing comes out, it will pull the whoopie cord though.
dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother recently xD
Just got mine 3 minutes ago. Gonna instal it right now…….update. It’s done. The double layered hammocks aren’t quite as easy to instal, but it wasn’t bad. One end though, it seemed that the pole and string seemed to get under a seam or something. Not sure, but it wouldn’t go through. I just took it out and went through the other way and it’s fine. Can’t wait to use them for a fall one week trip here in the Canadian bush!
Make Sure you shorten the whoopies First as much as possible. If you simply copy this video the adjustable tail won't pass through to the other side. Learnt this from experience changing the suspension on many hammocks.
I personally think the tree huggers need to be a little longer as I found a nice spot but the tree was a little too far to wrap the tree huggers round 😅 unless there’s an alternative way to use the tree huggers for situations like this?
DD Hammocks, does the 'tail' below the berry work well as a drip line? This setup puts the carabiner well outside of the coverage of a tarp. Would you need to add a bit of rope to act as a drip line closer to the hammock?
I would say it's better to have a drip line that's tied around the hang rope. That way the drip line covers the hang rope all around, acting as a "stop" for the water running down. The Whoopie's "tail" might allow water running on the upper side of the hang.
what do you mean by lock-off please? I'm assuming it has something to do with the little black bead, attached to my whoopie slings when they arrived, but i can't actually see the beads in this vid... so please expand on what you mean by lock-off. Many thanks :)
Are you using the xl tree huggers in this video or the standard 2m. Why I ask? That tree looks a lot like the size of a tree I was attempting to put my 2m around and I couldn’t wrap it. Just curious.
I somehow screwed ropes when i was pulling, now i dont have that woopie sling ends and rings that hook to carabiners, i dont know how to get it into a default state. Do i need to order new woopie sling ropes or ? Is there tutorial how to unscrew woopie slings ?
Hi there - if the Whoopie Slings have gone back into themselves this is very difficult to fix and it is likely they will need to be replaced; you can try using a small hook to re-thread these but often depending on how far the slings have fed back into themselves this could be a replacement issue. If you have any additional questions please send a couple of photos along to our sales email and a member of customer service will help as best as they can :)
I just used my Frontline for the first time. I want to change to the Whoopi slings but I weigh 220 lbs. Is this still a good application? The strength of the Whoopi sling is 125 kilograms same as the hammock.
Hi Joseph! The maximum weight to which we've tested our full set-ups - hammocks and suspension (both the DD Strong Webbing and Whoopie Slings/Suspension System) - is 100kg or 125kg, depending on the model. From what you've mentioned, this will be fine for you as 220lb is just under 100kg :) I hope this helps. Best, Caroline - DD Hammocks
hallo dd i am traveling a lot with your travel hammock an i have been thinking a lot too buy this system, the thing i want to know is are the whoopie system as strong as the original system or stronger ????
Hi Jason! We recommend using our DD Tree Huggers with the Whoopie Slings, connecting these with a karabiner :) Hope this helps! Best, Caroline - DD Hammocks
I've just received the ones I've ordered. Can't wait to use them! There are some beads attached as well. One on one and two on the other... I assume these are to identify them as front and back? Or do they have another particular function? Tia
@@Adam-hy9ou Hi, the plastic bead is to prevent the Whoopie Slings from "feeding" through itself. The new models all have the beads on, the one shown in the video is an older one. Best regards, Aleksandra
This setup won't keep your hammock water tight from water running down the lines. What I did was cut the original slings to make a short loop and tie them together then attach the whoopie slings using a crab, water should drip off the crab before getting to the hammock, or you could attach storm rings which are even better at shedding water.
