I need fast setup without take time to tie a knot. Like you, I cannot find a whoopee sling here. But the string seller advise me to DIY which is not difficult. So try lor.

Will call them in the future should I feel like doing surgery on my Hennessy. Ordered this last week via aliexpress. 390 gram total(2 biner + 4 rings) Hopefully I don't fall & die. If too heavy probably just gonna use it for short trips & long trips using the default lashing. Can't wait for both hammock & suspension to arrive.

For hammock, that is ok to get from China. But if for rock climb, I won't order from china. Their material and quality is suspicious.

I still not use to sleep in hammock. The normal hammock I try will squeeze my shoulder when sleep on it. The shorter the hammock the more squeezing it is. Not so comfort. I have problem sleeping when not comfort enough. Most of the time I still have to use tent. Cause all the girl want privacy.

But the hammock I try out is a smaller size (or standard ?) Before I brought my banglo hammock. Is you Hennessy end center is opening type? I mean you craw in from the center.
