Why do I love my whoopie sling suspension system, let me count the ways:Why do I love my whoopie sling suspension system, let me count the ways:
–One of the lightest systems out there without sacrificing strength or protection of trees.
–Quick drying: lower water absorption versus webbing.
–Fast and simple and intuitive setup and take down.
–Reliable/Safe: no knots to get wrong, no toggle or carabiner to loose.
–Memory: hammock can be removed and straps left on tree (for rain or while away from camp) and then immediately rehung at the exact same pitch/slack
–Water break: Dutch hook provides a natural water break to prevent water running down suspension and wetting hammock.
–Flexibility: Can be ordered/modified to handle two hammocks side-by-side (different whoopie hook and added spreader bar) that can then be used for either single or double applications.
So ask yourself what other suspension system can do all these things.

Rose Brown –
I am looking of buying the Whoopie hook complete suspension to replace my buckle system. I actually have two questions I thinking of getting the Spider Web 1.5 but not sure which length I should get, 4 or 5 foot tree huggers? Second question: Sometimes if the trees are close, I may not be able to use the whoopies. So my question is can I use a becket hitch on the 1.5 Spider Web?

If you are replacing whats in the end of your hammock the hennessy requires a longer lead.

Whoopie hook suspension Decided to change from the buckle suspension that came with my Warbonnet blackbird xlc hammock. Very easy to install. I like how easy the whoopie sling suspension is to adjust. As always fast shipping from dutchware!

Great ProductWhen I first got this product in the mail it had a slight learning curve. My tree straps seemed to long and my hammock would hang to low. I then realized I just had to remove the whoopie sling from the end of the strap and move it up higher using a marlin spike hitch. Once I figured that out my hang was perfect and super easy to adjust. This suspension is small, light weight, strong, and overall very easy to use. Also I got the suspension very quickly and the customer service was great.

Excellent, easy to use system.Excellent, easy to use system. Packs extremely small, and lighter than my stock Hennessy suspension. I love how adjustable it is, and no knots. One tip for Hennessy users: if you have a “new style” Hennessy with a small strap at the end (instead of two holes), get the SHORTER amsteel loops. The longer loops are more useful for the older style Hennessy with holes at the gathered end. Shorter loops mean that you have a shorter minimum hang distance, which can help a little.

I’m super happy with my dutchware BLING!I’m super happy with my dutchware BLING! I’ve only had the opportunity to rig up my hammock in the back yard around 2 enormous Poplar trees, so I had to use my tree hugger straps in combination with the tree slings I got from you. Can’t use my Dutch clips until I’m on a small tree setup on the trail. The Whoopie suspension with continus loops and hooks are awesome!!!

Spider 1.5 with sewn Dutch clip – crazy light, and the hook/clip combo makes set up and adjustments incredibly easy. 7′ for the huggers gives a lot of flexibility; easy enough to do a couple of loops for smaller trees, extra room for big trees or epic hangs. Note that the Spider 1.5 is very thin and bunches up a little in the clip, and that the hook will attach to the same place each time on the hammock’s continuous loop, leaving a small mark. No sign either compromises performance after multiple trips, but worth noting. Final pro tip: do as many adjustments as possible before lying down in the hammock, as the whoopie slings will tighten up. Not impossible to loosen again, of course, but trust me, you’d rather do it then then try to loosen and adjust in the middle of a cold night, for example.

My second set of whoopie slings just came in last night. Its like a little Christmas every time I see that package from Dutch. More orders will be made in the future without a doubt. If youre digging around the net for THE best suspension system for your hammock, or any other hammock camping “bling”, you found it. I wouldn’t hesitate to call this man a genius, among being just a genuine guy.

jihunpark –
1) When it says the whoopie sling is 6′ long, is that the fully extended length or is it the length at the shortest setting?
2) When I added the whoopie hooks (6.8g for two) and two 2.8 Reflect It whoopie slings (14.4g x2), the total weight shows 51.84g and not 35.6g (6.8 + 28.8). Am I missing something?
Thank you!

That is the weight of the non sewn on dutch clips so you probably have that selected. If you take that off you should be ok. If you have any other questions in regards to this please email me at [email protected]

Hi,
So, just want to point out.
Dutchs has great customers service.
They get back to you in a timely manner.
Also, Carolyn has been nothing but helpfuly putting up with my ridiculous ideas..lol
So ,
I went with spider 1.5(12′) with the hooks sewn on. Then at the tag end had dutch sew on the toggles(so I don’t loose them(if packed wet in a pocket)).
Trying out the whoopies..!
So much lighter than what I was rocking!
Thanks for your help and patience,
Zach.

What are pluses and minuses of longer whoopie slings and shorter tree huggers versus longer tree huggers and regular whoopie slings?
Thank you.

DutchWare Gear (verified owner) –
The average whoopie sling is about 6′ long and that is what we sell with the complete suspension package. You normally would not have a need for a hugger that is longer than 4′ or 5′ long as when you add that to the 6′ whooping sling that should be plenty for a good hang distance. A good distance for hanging your gathered end hammock is about 13′-16′. Most times your whoopie slings will have less bulk and weigh less than your straps so you would want this to be longer than the huggers to help save a little weight and bulk.

5 star gear all the way.
5 star gear all the way. Was new to the whoopie sling and became a master in 5 mins. Those hooks are really the cherries on top of this system. Cuts my weight and eliminates the biners. Straps are excellently constructed.
Super fast shipping and and great customer service. Already eyeing up my second order.

I made the switch from a webbing strap suspension to the whoopie sling with whoopie hook.
I made the switch from a webbing strap suspension to the whoopie sling with whoopie hook. I was a bit leery at first, given the small diameter of the 7/64″ Amsteel cord, but it held my 250 pound weight with no problem. Ease of use, minimal materials/design were the deciding factors for me. When attached to a tree hugger strap, its easy to make adjustments to get the proper hang angle and sag. Another quality product from Dutchware.

Just received my dynaglide whoopies with attached whoopie hooks.
Just received my dynaglide whoopies with attached whoopie hooks. It’s winter, but I had to setup my hammock right away. What a revelation! At .92 oz and by far the simplest connection system ever, I am extremely happy. No more carabiners or knots.
I also got a pair of 5′ kevlar tree huggers which weighed in at 1.4 oz (spot on to spec). So for 2.32 oz I have an absolutely revolutionary suspension system that could not be easier to deploy.
I just asked for dynaglide in the comment section of the checkout. Ask and you shall receive. Thanks Dutch!

HI Dutch,
Can you comment on the durability of the 2.2 vs 3.3 kevlar tree huggers? I’m pretty careful with my gear, but I see where tree bark could really do a number on thin material.
Thanks!

Awesome for Trees or Tentsile!!!
Our family enjoys camping together, and I enjoy trying to get away. We needed something with less give than nylon straps and something more quickly adjustable for under our Tentsile Stingray. The whoopie hooks are perfect for hanging our hammocks under it, so my wife and I can be close to the kids but not have our butts dragging the ground.

Almost perfect
This setup is exactly what anyone would need to suspend a hammock… unless you live in the Pacific Northwest. In that case, you’ll need longer tree straps than you can get in this package deal. Really though, the quality of Dutch’s products is awesome, and if you hang somewhere with smaller (and closer together) trees this is all you’ll ever need.
