When the tree is big and your tree straps just don't get all the way around, JumboTrunk™ Suspension Extensions come to the rescue. Larkshead a suspension extension to the tree strap loop and you’re good to go. And for that long span when your whoopie sling is maxed out, add some extra length by larksheading a suspension extension to the end of the whoopie sling.
JumboTrunk Suspension Extensions are made from Catzye™ which uses Trevo™ Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber. The same type of fiber used for Dyneema® or Spectra®. Trevo is super strong and has very low stretch, making it perfect for an extension. Each end has a 3 in. (7.6 cm) spliced, fixed-eye loop with a 4 in. (10 cm) bury for secure holding strength.
JumboTrunk Suspension Extensions are available in 2 ft (60 cm) lengths. Connect two together with a larkshead for a 4 ft (120 cm) extension. They are sold individually.
Trevo is manufactured by DSM Dyneema. Both Trevo and Dyneema are UHMWPE fibers with very similar properties. When braided into line, Catzye (Trevo) performs like AmSteel-Blue (Dyneema) for hammock applications.
