What size do you use most? I was thinking of making up some 1/2" and some 5/8".

How much do you allow in the "lapped" portion? Is there a rule-of-thumb to go by?

I just discovered that I read the ratings wrong. I was looking at my Wesspur catalog. The ratings were for basket, single-leg and choker, respectively. I understand that the loopie would be twice as strong compared to the whoopie if the same attachment method were used. Like Skwerl said, I was...

Gotcha. I'll take your word for it. I got rather tired of adjusting a whoopie the other day. Depending on the size of the rigging point, sometimes I attached it normally, other times, when the attachment point was somewhat smaller, I wrapped the whoopie twice rather than shorten it to save...

I simply wondered how the loopie could be TWICE as strong as the whoopie. Just curious mostly. I see where it would be quicker/simpler to adjust than the whoopie. I just wondered where they come up with rating it twice as strong. It makes no difference, as I'm going to make some up anyway. I...

Do you use loopies more than whoopies, Carl?

Here's the loopie. All the weight would be applied to one thickness of the sling where it meets the bottom of the block sheave. Now here's the whoopie. Assuming a block were attached instead of the portie, again, all the rigging weight would be applied to one thickness of the sling where it...

I understand that the sling runs through the block...hence two legs (effectively). What I mean by a single leg is that the weight of the rigging will be on a single thickness of the sling. (There is only one thickness actually contacting the bearing side of the sheave.) I'm not very computer...

I understand that the whoopie has one leg vs. the loopie's two, but it seems that the weakest point of the loopie is where it runs through the block. I'm sure the loopie is stronger than the whoopie because of its inherent design, I just can't see it being twice as strong. The load at the block...

Could any of you rope/rigging experts explain to me why a loopie sling is rated twice as strong as a whoopie? I understand that it's doubled around the tree, but at the point of block attachment, there is ONE leg of the sling running through the block...just like the whoopie. Seems that this...
