The clearest and most concise presentation of this procedure that I have seen.

Great video! I watched it a year ago to make my first set and specifically searched for this again to make my next set.

Great video

Thanks for the tutorial. Got my slings made in just an evening! The beads on the adjustable loop are a nice touch!

Awesome thank you very much!

Great video!! Thanks from New York!

Amazing, and clear tutorial! Using this to make a long dog lead -- so pleased with the results!

Very precise, GREAT video, easy to follow.....thank you very much!!!

Excellent tutorial sir, ty! ...and wow, that ceramic blade is SHARP

Such a clear an concise instruction, thank you. I’ve just made my own. Wife is in the hammock in the garden at the moment ( still locked down) so I’ll be trying them out later. Thank you. 👍🏻. Atb. oMo.

Fantastic! Thanks for filming, Andy

Really appreciate the sharing of how to make these. Thank you

This is definitely my favourite channel. Thank you for taking the time to make and share your videos. Be safe and be lucky, Wol.

Love your videos. Very well done tutorials. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for these videos - very easy to follow. I made both whoopie slings and improved soft shackles for my Hennessy hammock last night.

Thank you so much I was able to make my very first whoopie slings using your video

Thanks for your videos I've literally followed them to make slings etc

Great video, very well explained & easy to follow. Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial. All the best Spenny.

brilliant thanks

I am soooo excited, I have paid like 30 bucks for 2 of these woopie slings, when I can make twice as that for less! I am only 15 years old and stuff like this is so fun! Thanks for the tutorial it took me two hours last night for the first one but now that I know, I wont take nearly as long lol. I'm happy 😁

Thanks for the great video, best video on this subject! I used a carpet repair needle instead of a fid or wire for a fish, worked great!

Great workmanship. Now I can have 12 feet whoopi slings with double whoopi hooks on the end (to use with spreader bars for my and my wife’s hammock). Super!

Fascinating tutorial. Wow splicing has changed since I was in the scouts.

Tools. Trying to keep it really simple. Bailing wire for the fishtool 18 gauge, just around the house, about 20" long bent in the middle, but rounded, Making the holes to push through. I've a pair of narrow dissection tweezers that work well. You just need something narrow, but rounded at the point. To push the cord through these small holes, I bought the right tool, but the one I bought is too small. A drinking straw works great. I slit the front part of the straw, squeeze it you get a nice taper. I could tape the narrow point, but I haven't bothered. For pulling loops through a hold in the line, I use my wire fish tool. Great videos Tac Blades. Thanks. I've been through them several times, made entries in my notebook of the measurements. Amazing materials and amazing configurations. I can't imagine life without Whoopie slings and soft shackles.

Great vid!! I’m gonna buy the 3/16” synthetic winch rope from harbor freight and make these Whoopie slings for my hammock!

Thanks! Excellent tutorial.

I have watched 6 or 7 videos on making a Whoopie sling. This sir is BY FAR the best tutorial on the subject. IMO. Even with your accent, this video suits me best. However, I only bought 20' of 1/8" Amsteel. SO, I'm going to give it a go, and make 2- 5 footers. Most of my adjustment is in my straps already. If this works out, I may order more for my ridge-line. Right now my ridge-line is Spectra cord. (non-adjustable). This Hammock thing is pretty new to me. But is my sleep-mode of choice, for motorcycle camping. Thanks again! GREAT tutorial!! (I have those same awls, for my leather work)

Thanks! Great tutorial!

Great tutorial.....many thanks !!

Thank you so much for including how to taper the ends - I was about to throw the rope out the window until I came across this tutorial. Fab.

Brilliant.. thanks for the excellent vid..

Thanks for your effort and time, great vid. Really enjoyed watching it. Gone have a go myself

Great instruction thank you!

Excellent presentation. Thankyou.

That's an interesting how to. I found a huge reel of amsteel on my boat I didn't even know it was until I looked properly I'm tidying it and fitting solar panels and having the hull antifouled so I'm in dry dock atm so I may try this when I have time between my many jobs I have on at the moment. Your channel is one of my favourite as your always making neat stuff

Very helpful! Thanks!

Great tutorial, thank you very very very much❤️❤️!

Another great video, thank you for sharing. All the best. Very well done, I'm legally blind and was able to follow, thank you.

Getting addicted. Thankyou very much.

Thanks for the post very insightful

Thank you, this was a great video!! I would love to see how to make a soft shackle!

Thanks for a great video.

Finally got hold of some Amsteel in New Zealand! Tried some stuff off Ali it wasn’t that good. Once I got hold of the the real Samson product it was far better. Made a pair of whoopies tonight and went for a 12 inch bury versus the “standard” 10 inch people seem to do. This is a great channel. Will try your UCR and soft shackle videos next. Keep up the great work! Stay safe and good luck.

The two measurements in the beginning are worth a bit more. The 5" is the buried portion & the 11" total (6" section) is double the size of the 3" loop. If you wanted 4" this section would need to be 8" for example for a total length of 13". If you wanted to bury more for security sake you make that first 5" whatever is needed.

Well described and demonstrated, can't wait to try it out, looking forward to the soft shackle demo All the best Norm

Hi THere, Mr. Andy, I have many videos on youtube until I came across yours. In my humble opinion, you are one of the best presenters out there with the patience of Job (e) when it comes to teaching and demonstrating clearly what you are trying to convey to your audience, well done, and thank you. I was wondering where did you buy the beads to fit the 7/64 Amsteel. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Excellent video, I will need to try and make some for the new hammock I bought a couple of months ago. Atb Glenn.

Thanks for your great vids! Learnt a lot! Have you any idea why there are no colored Amsteel available in EU?

I've just worked out who you are lol. I'll friend request you. Love these vids.

Yes understand. Let me put it another way what is longest whoopie sling you have used? In spite of any longer I am guessing six feet allows as much "adjustment" as one would need for a proper hang. Thank you again and you make it very easy to follow and complete for first time creation of and user of a whoopie sling.

What is the wood handled tool your using to put the hole in the rope to separate the strands?

What Dan said !!

Fantastic instructional videos, thank you TAC Blades. Could you please tell me the length of the Awl you use, so I can purchase the correct one on eBay. Many thanks Mike

This is such a good video and I wish it had more views. Do you lock stitch or use whipping to secure any of the buries?

Great tutorial. I find making things with Amsteel a little addicting. Let's see the soft shackle.

Are the beads you use called "Capri Beads" ? Great video very informative. Thank you.

Hi again....12.5 foot length allows for a 6' whoopie sling as per your excellent demo, my question is what would be the reasonable maximum length for a whoopie sling? Would I need longer Or would this be it and your actual tree wraps make up for length required between suspension points and the sling being your adjustment portion.? ( ps just followed your tutorial and came out near perfect now just wondering if I should make a touch longer as yet to splice final end on a long portion of amsteel). Thankyou .

I see what your saying. I will settle for 6 feet then. For extensions of a six foot whoopie sling, in event ever needed, which would be best...dog bones?continuous loop? or improved soft shackles as been viewing those tutorials or what recommendation would you advise ? My Sunday projects :-) Thanks

What are the beads called you are using for a stopper and where do you purchase them?

WTH is a whoopee sling? It sounds like fun. I'll Google it.

I have been looking for the tools you use. Where did you find them and could I get something similar?

Where can I buy 1/8 (3mm) amsteel in the UK ?

Hi. What width in mm is your amsteel? I see various options online. Thanks.

Can this be done using paracord & other "ropes" aswell ?

link to that tapering spike tool, could not pick up the name so I could search. I only heard you said "owl"... ?

I see you went to a ceramic knife

Cut uh ahh 25 Hank?????
