Highlining - Making Whoopie Slings 

Check out our new store! hownot2.store/

Have you ever just put a Whoopie on the SlackSnap table and straight pulled it to failure? I've always wondered if the loop will slip before rope breaks.

Good on ya for posting the Samson link, I was thinking 2 fids for the adjustment bury was a little short. The instructions say 3 1/2 fids for Amsteel, and the 5/16 whoopies I've made with Amsteel even with a 3 1/2 fid bury slip a little, at least compared to the Tenex whoopies I'm used to. Splicing 12 strand is super satisfying. Thanks for the fid vid!

Great instruction video you're a very good teacher and I really think your humourous when you say how not to highline

This would seem to be a perfect solution for quicky adjusting out boat's topping lift. Thanks!

excellent !, thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video man! Super helpful.

Same thing that we do to connect our dienema Dacron to our mono fishing line ,gaint blue fin tuna fishing ,

I took your advice from this woopie sling video, and bought the Samson splice book the first paragraph states that MBS is tested/ certified with an eye splice on both ends . EG 3/8" am... Blue (sk78) eye spliced MSB IS 16200 LBS WITH OUT A DIVERTER So a proper eye splice( LOCK STICHED; NOT BRUMMELLED) dose not reduce MBS. WOOPIE SLING IS STATED AS "70% OF MSB." USING 3.5FID BURIED AND A LOCKING BRUMMEL. MAKING THE MINIMUM LENGTH FOR ANY WOOPIE 7 FID + FIXED EYE SIZE. HOWEVER THE BRUMMEL IS WHAT COST 30% LOSS OF MBS.. DO YOU WANT TO CONFIRM SAMSON'S PUBLISHED STATEMENT? THAT THE LOCKING BRUMMEL COST 30% MBS VS LOCKED STICHED IS 100% MBS. CLASS1 ROPE IS 1.5 FID BURIED CLASS2 ( AMSTEEL/ SLICK SYNTHETICS) 3.5FID BURIED.

I've read that it's actually better to not taper the backsliced end since it doesn't hold any load and will make it harder for that end to enter into the adjustable section.

Как называется этот шнур? И где можно его купить?

I make whoopies for rigging my hammock from smaller dyneema, and have taken to putting a brummel locked eye on the end as a stopper. Makes for easy stowage of excess, and if you want to make 100% sure you don't accidentally undo it you can put the main brummel loop through the tail one. I'm also wondering if in your case it might give an opportunity to safety the whoopie. I've been searching your channel for a whoopie slack snap video, because I'm interested to know where they fail?

how to you keep from pulling the whoopie all the way through

Do you know any company that sells dyneema in / to Southamerica?

Where did u get that fid?

What size tubular webbing would you add for abrasion protection on the eye?

Why do I have strong temptation to go make whoopie slings that my life will depend on, even though you say specifically not to do it after watching a guy on youtube make them in his kitchen...

Can you test the break of whoopies

Not sure I understand what the purpose of pulling strands apart and cutting to taper before you bury? What is the purpose of cutting and pulling apart?

love the videos bud but you dont really say how to use the whoopie slings.

You should sell these premade
