Shug! This was amazing! I’m running the ddhammock frontline with the original webbing. Ive kind of gotten used to doing the shoelace knot to hang my hammock. I just installed 8 driplines all about 12” long cowhitched to both straps coming out of the hammock and going on a trip this weekend where there may be some heavy rain! The cordage used is just some white cord like one would find in a hardware store. I am seriously thinking about just picking up the whoopie kit from DD. Seems like that would solve any issues with water coming down the webbing. Thank you again sir and I hope you and yours are all doing well! NQU

Shug, I posted this question on another one of your videos, but maybe the question is more relevant to this video: Can the Marlin spike hitch + toggle be used as a water break? I've read that if you hang the whoopie sling from underneath the toggle, instead of over the top of the toggle as is tradition, then the toggle and hitch will rotate itself such that the toggle can serve as a water break. Have you ever tried this? Does it actually work, or do you need a secondary water break with MSH + toggle?

It would need to be under the tarp. Take free end of whoopee and tie it under tarp to act as a drip line. Sure I show that in this video.

Just a quick observation, but with your hammock suspension touching on the tarp edge, doesn't the rain run down the hammock suspension straps and then down the underside of the tarp? Would a drip loop fixed where the hammock suspension touches the tarp work?

doesn't actually need to be under the tarp, just close enough ... an inch or two outside the tarp does the job if space is tight... more so on the Ridgeline where there's only a very slight sag and if you're using the two knot backup method, having the first knot outside the tarp slows the water running down the line, so even if it manages to jump your knot or 'biner the flow won't be strong enough to jump the second knot
