Three years later and I’m still referring to your videos.

best tutorial on whoopie sling so far, thanks!

Hey Shug , I’m from South Australia and I can’t thankyou enough for teaching me about hammocks , I’ve made my own continuous loops , whoopsie slings and adjustable structural ridge line and gone from a novice to a self confessed pro.

Thanks for the tips , you are the heisenberg of hammocks 🙌

I started into hammocks because of the simplicity. Bought a length of ripstop from ripstopbytheroll, seamed, gathered the end with paracord and hit the trail. (OK I hit my back yard first). From there of course you learn about tarps, tree straps, quilts, bug nets, and much, much more. So I was surprised to hear you say recently that hammocks are complicated. But as usual you are right. They are just so flexible there are all kinds of things you can do to improve things. I think that's what really draws me to hammock camping. There are just so many things you can try and many are easy and cheap. I just camped with the boyscout in 26 degree weather in gear that cost me about 160 bucks, a bit of DIY time and a few tricks I learned on youtube. (I couldn't do it without my coat zipped around my foot box, courtesy of the Shug).

Probably the best comprehensive show of Woopie Slings and how to use them Ive seen. Your videos are a great help to anyone who looks for the knowledge to enjoy Hammock Camping. Thank you Shug.

As the British would say, "Brilliant!" Thank you for another great video.

Thee most entertaining hammock vids ever..." You're welcome"

Fantastic explanation and I like how you repeat, show and explain with closeups

Lots of Shug videos makes the winter so much better!!

Nice to see the things we learned and used in the Navy 30 years ago be put to good use today!! Great video!!

thank you for sharing your systems Sean! I always enjoy watching your videos!

thanks for all of the great videos. i recently switched my eno doublenest over to whoopie slings. they make it so much easier to setup my hammock.

I love my whoopie slings Shug....thanks to you. I made Mule Tape Tree straps and I love them too.

This video was so helpful. I watched it before buying whoopie slings, after, and after landing on my derrière. Each time I learned something new or understood with more clarity. So well done!

I love the Dutch hooks!

Hey Shug! I have been watching your channel for years and this Christmas we were gifted our first hammock! I immediately thought of you and your channel when we opened it. I can't wait to give it a go in a couple weeks. thanks for this great info! here in Texas it shouldn't be terribly cold and hopefully we won't need all the down you need. :) thanks for being so inspiring to just get out there and do it.

Greetings from Ireland 👍 Best review I’ve seen in ages dude and very funny 👊 everything explained , thank you 👊🍀

Thanks Shug. Because of your videos I shopped at whoopieslings and got me a set. I will be using them this evening if all goes well. Awesome job on your videos.

Great info on this subject, Shug. Thanks for sharing it, my friend.

'I get to say whoopie sling a lot' part really got me 😂

I ordered my first hammock today. decided to purchase one after seeing your videos. can't wait to start Hammock Camping! thanks for the great video's.

Interesting setup... It is the first time i see a whoopie sling arrangement. Thanks for sharing, very informative.

Whoopie!! A funny, yet thoroughly succinct tutorial. Thank-you...

Good vid. I used a whoopie sling setup for a whole season of hammocking, but converted back to straps and buckles which I find much more convenient.

That was the best video I've seen on Whoopie Slings! Well done!

when a hammock comes along... youuuu must whip it! whip it good!

Thanks! Switched to marlin spike toggle, more adjustability now.

Thanks Shug! I had a heck of a time fighting with that thing my first time out. I think I've got it now. I probably should have gone with a more straight forward setup for my first hammock.

Great video as always, informative and entertaining.

You are a fountain of knowledge. That's for the detail and humor.

i love the whoopie sling all in one system so easy

So the knot.. and not the toggle. Got it! Thanks for the video Shug

Sir... u are a Hammock Master! thanx 4 the tips.

I just LOVE your humor…..you are absolutely hilarious and fun to watch! BTW….i'm a guy so don't get to excited about the LOVE word….lol. Have a great day my friend...

Thanks for the explaining! Really helpful

Full Power! rich with clear practical info.

Nice video! Great info. I ran my static end of my whoopie sling through my end channel to remove one component. Otherwise it's your same setup. I use Dutch buckles and am not pleased. Fell on my tush because they were apparently upside down. Grr. Almost went to a Marlin Spike Hitch that time to get it done. Thinking of getting the new Beatle Clips. Liked the idea of tying the tail end as a redundant water break. So many more comments but I'll end there. Love your stuff. Thanks Shug!

Thank you kindly, sir. Very informative and easy to understand.

I just got myself a pair of whoopie slings as my experiments with hanging the hammock direct to the daisy-chain tree huggers revealed the limitations of having regularly-spaced fixed anchor points and I wanted something that I could use for fine-tuning the hang. Thank you *so* much for explaining what the beads on my whoopie slings are for - it seemed blindingly obvious once you pointed it out, but I had no bloody idea. Great watching the variety of ways you can adapt the hang with a combination of straps and whoopie slings. I'm hoping that with 2 daisy chain straps and 2 whoopie slings, I should be able to adapt to any variations in the spacing and diameter of trees where I plan to hang my hammock.

Hello Shug from Czech, you are perfect teacher. I have to create whoopie sling for next hammocking.

still one of my favorites!

Nice idea of using your loose end of the whoopie sling as a second water stop, not seen anyone do that before.. thanks shug

good vid dude. I'm new to hammocking, this will help me get started. thanks.

Thanks, Shug. I thought this going to be more basic stuff for Noobs, but I actually learned a bit. (Wait, does that make me still a noob??) Always happy to learn from the master lollygagger.

I've got two 6 ft. whoopie slings that I carry with me, although I don't actually use them very much any more. It's kind of a security thing, that I still carry them, if I can't find two trees close enough. My suspension system now consists of mostly two 15 ft. 1inch webbings. Those don't seem to tangle and is quick to use. I use a marline spike knot and an easy release truckers knot on the other end for adjustments. I'm a believer in, the less hardware to keep up with, the better. I tend to loose things. Simplicity is essential to me. Once I learned how to use the easy release truckers knot, I seem to always use it. All it is, is a loop and a bit. Quick and easy. I torque it up and my hammock ridge line keeps my hammock at the right sag.

Wow, I remember those Chinese handcuffs. Cool reference, great video.

Thanks for the knowledge. I believe what you're referring to as a water break can also be referred to interchangeably as a drip line, a term used in forestry for the point where the rain falls and drips at the outer circumference of a tree.

nice clear vid thx, its like a morning juice power drink, just throw in the blender some dyneema, titanium, dutch, webbing, toggles, ripstop and add shug to taste. breakfast done :)

Great vid!! Educational and entertaining! You have a terrific voice.

Great video with clear explanations !! Bout to take the Warbonnet plunge :D T.Y Mr E

I learn more during your video's then me fiddling with gear I know nothing about. You make this so easy. Thanks for the information and where do I send my education money to.

I love your videos so much! You are such an awesome teacher! Thanks! Def subbed!!!

I did not know "milking". Now my whoopee sling is very tight. Thank you Shuge!

Who else been milking their bury like mad during quarantine?

Once again the light has dawned on Marble Head. Thank you very much!

Advanced Hammock building. Who knew there was so much involved to a good nights sleep while camping. I remember the good ole days when all I had to do was wrestle a Grizz for his warm soft bear hair, toss it next to a roaring fire, and sleep. All this hammock science is hard!

I love how everybody prefers different suspension, I like to have very light tree straps go around the tree and have a DMM, aluminium climbing carabiner join the loops and then have the whoopie from the hammock, go up and connect to the carabiner 😁 I like carabiners and I would carry 2 climbing carabiners anyways so may aswell incorporate them into my suspension

Pure gold!! 👍

fantastic explanation!

great video. thank you

This video is so delightful and overwhelmingly informative that I can't help but saying "whoopie sling" multiple times out loud while laughing to myself.

I like your hat (and hat collection in the background).

Thanks again for your great video sir. Godspeed.

Outstanding!

great video thx Shug, I just received my whoopee slings today, (and yes it is fun to say whoopee slings) I put the emphasis on the whoopee kinda the way you say whoo in whoo buddy but longer and higher pitched on the "pie"...ha! Keep em coming. All secure at 49"N 123"W. All the best to you and yours.

Another great video, thank you Shug. I noticed you had the tape measure out, and I was thinking, if you were looking for another reason to make another video, I would like to see another video on ridge lines, and the use of the tape measure to get the correct or nearly correct length of the ridge line.

awesome video!

thanks shug,! as always, very helpful and informative :)

simple, easy, minimalistic very good

The old sailor painting is very popular here in Denmark - really nice painting And the video also ;)

Spectacular. 🤠

I just want to say, thank you!!!

hey shug great video great video for sure very informative right to the meat as it were

Love the humor

informative and entertaining! Love it.

Very good info.. I'm testing the whoopies for the first time for weight savings. The only minor problem is that you loose about 2 feet for hanging on trees close together compared to the cinch buckle/straps setup.

"and I get to say whoopie sling a lot" lol You're a funny man Shug. And educational too

Just because you enjoyed saying woopie so much iv subbed 😄

It's funny, I opted for a whoopie sling when I bought my hammock. I saw a lot of videos on using the becket hitch to tie your suspension to your tree huggers. Doesn't work so well with a whoopie sling (unless you don't need to make any adjustments after you hang it). I just received a couple of titanium toggles in the mail today. Marlin spikes will be the way I go!

Well done sir!

I like the jumanji hat on your shelf....

Whatever the bottled water is in your neck of the woods I'd really like some.... Thanks for the information, this really helped.

You are a beast!

If this guy had a talk show, I would totally watch it.

I like the little o-ring, looked like it was, to stop the loop pulling back through the bury-- even if you manage to get it stuck in there somehow, you got something to get a little hook around to pull it back out.

Love your Video. You are such a cool and funny Dude... You blow those Hollywood people out of the water... Thanks for a great and informative video!!!

woopie buddy!!! nice to see your new raven! seems as comfortable as sleeping in heaven!

Excellent cheers

Good explanation! I have to say, you were the inspiration to get into hammock camping and whoopie slings as well, even making them myself, which wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be! On another note, I have to admit, I've never been to Dutch's website until the whole chameleon phenomenon, and what caught my attention was the 0° incubator, now I can't remember, and to busy lollygagging to search your vast library of videos, but do you have/used the incubator?

Yu tought me all the lessons thank-you

thanks bought some!

good stuff!

best video ever.

WHOOPIES!!! so easy, even a Shug can Do it!

Thanks for the info, extremely helpful as always! Also, I really liked the look of the bug-net you had hanging with that orange hammock outside. Can you give some details about that?

I usually use two half hitches. One near the berry to stop any slippage just incase, and one further down for a rain drip.

I sure do like how there ain't any dislikes. mm hmm, I sure do like it sump'm fierce. you post some o'the like'nest vidyas in the tube town o' sugarbury.

Thanks)

Great video! Thanks. Show us how make one!
