Three years later and I’m still referring to your videos.
Whoooooo Buddy))))) 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.
Righto and fair dinkum~~ Does anyone truly say fair dinkum down your way? Consider yourself a splicer/hammocker. Was in Australia back in the early 1990s. Loved it. Never got to camp though.
@@shugemery Yes, fair dinkum does get said though seldom nowadays compared to culture in the 90s, but the true meaning of the phrase is perhaps lost to most who use it. Thanks for your excellent videos, Shug. Much appreciated!
Greetings from Ireland 👍 Best review I’ve seen in ages dude and very funny 👊 everything explained , thank you 👊🍀
Thankee. My Mom was born in Tipp. I was birthed in Derry. Wish I had a Lilt and a sponge cake. We always called them jam cakes.
Thee most entertaining hammock vids ever..." You're welcome"
Thankee~~~
Thanks for the tips , you are the heisenberg of hammocks 🙌
I do have a hat like his!
thank you for sharing your systems Sean! I always enjoy watching your videos!
best tutorial on whoopie sling so far, thanks!
Thankee.
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).
I say it is complicated as it seems so to many and want them to know what they are getting into. I always found it intuitive and fun.
Great info on this subject, Shug. Thanks for sharing it, my friend.
'I get to say whoopie sling a lot' part really got me 😂
Lots of Shug videos makes the winter so much better!!
Fantastic explanation and I like how you repeat, show and explain with closeups
I love the Dutch hooks!
I love my whoopie slings Shug....thanks to you. I made Mule Tape Tree straps and I love them too.
Nice to see the things we learned and used in the Navy 30 years ago be put to good use today!! Great video!!
Nautical but nice! Go Navy.....
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.
I thankee.

Whoooooo Buddy)))))
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!!!
I have clawed my way to the lower middle! Thankee.
Whoopie!! A funny, yet thoroughly succinct tutorial. Thank-you...
Whooooooo Buddy))))
Interesting setup... It is the first time i see a whoopie sling arrangement. Thanks for sharing, very informative.
Yessir.
That was the best video I've seen on Whoopie Slings! Well done!
Thankee!
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.
Thankee. In TX right now. McAllen. Beautiful and in the mid 70's.....
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.
Whooooo Buddy))))
As the British would say, "Brilliant!" Thank you for another great video.
No, we would say - " Mate, That's propa sick Fam innit nahmsayin"
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!
Glad to hear it has some value. Whooooo Buddy)))))
Great video as always, informative and entertaining.
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.
How is the hammock camping going?
Thanks for the explaining! Really helpful
Thank you kindly, sir. Very informative and easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!....Whoooooo Buddy))))
Sir... u are a Hammock Master! thanx 4 the tips.
Thankee and y'elcome.
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...
Thankee Feller! Means a lot.
You are a fountain of knowledge. That's for the detail and humor.
Whoooooo Buddy))))))
i love the whoopie sling all in one system so easy
Yessir.
Thanks! Switched to marlin spike toggle, more adjustability now.
I enjoy them.
Full Power!
rich with clear practical info.
I thankee.
Great vid!! Educational and entertaining! You have a terrific voice.
i say thankee thankee
when a hammock comes along... youuuu must whip it! whip it good!
Hello Shug from Czech, you are perfect teacher. I have to create whoopie sling for next hammocking.
Děkuji a Whooooo Buddy))))
still one of my favorites!
I like 'em too.
Once again the light has dawned on Marble Head. Thank you very much!
Whoooooo Betty))))))
So the knot.. and not the toggle. Got it!
Thanks for the video Shug
Take heed!
Great video with clear explanations !! Bout to take the Warbonnet plunge :D T.Y Mr E
Great to hear that.
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.
Gonna do a video on that systen as well. Oh the choices we have,
@@shugemery did you make that video?
Wow, I remember those Chinese handcuffs. Cool reference, great video.
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.
So so so many suspension choices nowadays...try them all!
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.
Thanks again for your great video sir. Godspeed.
Y'elcome and thankee.
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.
Whooooo Buddy)))))
I love your videos so much! You are such an awesome teacher! Thanks! Def subbed!!!
Thankee for the good words.
good vid dude. I'm new to hammocking, this will help me get started. thanks.
Thankee and carry forth!
thanks shug,! as always, very helpful and informative :)
Y'elcome and thankee.
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 :)
I like your hat (and hat collection in the background).
Nothing like a good topper.
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!
If you use a hammock...at some point you fall.
It was funny and a bit embarrassing because I'd talked up my nifty new suspension to a guy using spare rope and Harbor Freight ratchet straps. Only thing wounded was my pride. Hehe. Still not thrilled there is a magical up and down unlisted on the product.
fantastic explanation!
Thankee. Hope you got something out of it.
Just because you enjoyed saying woopie so much iv subbed 😄
Whoopie ad infinitum!!! Thankee for the sub.
I did not know "milking". Now my whoopee sling is very tight. Thank you Shuge!
The milking is essential. Righto~~~
great video. thank you
Pure gold!! 👍
Whooooooo Buddy)))))
Nice idea of using your loose end of the whoopie sling as a second water stop, not seen anyone do that before.. thanks shug
Very effective.....
"and I get to say whoopie sling a lot" lol You're a funny man Shug. And educational too
Thankee and Whooooo Buddy)))))
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!
It seems hard to learn but is fairly intuitive to me. Harder to explain it to people than it is to just go and do it. Its fun to me.
jKat zz hammock camping can be very simple. It just takes an engineering mind and a lot of trial and error to make it that way. lol. Luckily for most of us we have access to those minds on TH-cam.
shugemery at 60 years old and always previously sleeping in a tent, I bought a hammock and used it for the first time last summer. I doubt I'll ever go back to ground sleeping again thanks to you and your channel.
I'm still low tech at this point in the game and just using flat strap suspension but am all in for trying new stuff
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.
I find this the best for that.....th-cam.com/video/giumWY1zknU/w-d-xo.html
@@shugemery Many thanks for that.
awesome video!
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.
Yessir. Sounds good.
simple, easy, minimalistic very good
Aye!
bądź moim sąsiadem ;)
If this guy had a talk show, I would totally watch it.
Reckon this is my talk show. Whooooo Buddy))))
I just want to say, thank you!!!
Y'elcome.
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
Couldn't agree more!
Outstanding!
Whoooooooo Buddy))))
Spectacular. 🤠
Whoooooo Buddy))))
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.
Send me candy!
hey shug great video great video for sure very informative right to the meat as it were
informative and entertaining! Love it.
Thankee.
Love the humor
Whooooo Buddy))))
The old sailor painting is very popular here in Denmark - really nice painting
And the video also ;)
My Father loved that painting. Hung in our family room when I was young.
Well done sir!
Thankee Stu.
woopie buddy!!! nice to see your new raven! seems as comfortable as sleeping in heaven!
It is quite dreamy....
Yu tought me all the lessons thank-you
Whooooo Buddy)))))
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.
Correcto~~ Keep that water from running down to hammock and quilts and such....th-cam.com/video/J1OXNc_JEPc/w-d-xo.html
I like the jumanji hat on your shelf....
It is a dandy!
Who else been milking their bury like mad during quarantine?
That phrase seems to be a path to deviant thoughts......
Oh good lord...... I am ashamed 😂
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.
WHOOPIE sling on feller)))))
You are a beast!
Subscribed at "You're welcome . . . " Hah! Thanks dude!
Thankee Francis, though I may be to old to be a dude. More a mac, bub, sport, Mr., geezer~~~
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.
Ridgeline is about 83% of hammock length. Give or take. Start there.

Excellent cheers
Hope it gave some insight.
best video ever.
Whoooooo Buddy)))) Whoopie on....
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!
I really like the marlinspike/toggle/ tree strap/whoopie suspension. Just near and dear to my heart. So many suspension options.......th-cam.com/play/PLahaAdtfX9ZJ8QsJqWwRN4_MaZ8UAyzWm.html
@@shugemery I was trying to avoid using hardware like toggles because it's extra weight, but the Dutch toggles I got weigh 6 grams together. 3g each! Worth the weight.
Whoopie sling supremacy
Still my suspension of choice~~
thanks bought some!
Yessir.
WHOOPIES!!! so easy, even a Shug can Do it!
good stuff!
My pleasure.
Whatever the bottled water is in your neck of the woods I'd really like some.... Thanks for the information, this really helped.
Fortified mightily!
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?
New Hammock. Dreamhammock Raven.
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.
Great video! Thanks. Show us how make one!
I just purchase mine these days. Plenty of videos on how to make them....th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=how+to+make+a+whoopie+sling
Good info! Any chance you would do a tour of your studio and explain some of the more random or unique things that we see lying around? Thanks!
Think I have that.....th-cam.com/video/76DiVyeK4H4/w-d-xo.html
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.
That is it's purpose....
Whoopie!!! Did you put a screw into your floor just for the video?
The Shug Shed looks to be filled with very interesting object. I bet they each have a story.
