Nothin like that sinking feeling when you pull a little too far and your loop disappears... :(

Yep, the bead is just a stop.

Got my whoopie slings and tree hugers and was able to do a little pre trip nap! For a big guy this is very nice, wasn't sure if i would feel comfortable, but I loved it.
One question. I am using the marlin spike hitch with toggle. the whoopie sling came with a bead. Does anyone know what this is used for? Wasn't sure if it needed to be placed in position on knot ...

I haven't used whoopies so I might not be the best to answer, but I think the bead is for the adjustable loop: so you can't accidentally pull it all the way closed. I think you'd have to re-splice the sling to get it on there, though.
It is definately not part of the marlin spike hitch, though.

The bead stops the "whoopie" from pulling though it's self.
