    I also seem to recall one such thread, but I don't think it was accurate. Zing-It has less than 1% stretch. In other words, it doesn't stretch, even when wet.

    How big were the trees you were hanging from? I wonder if the weight of the saturated bark could have caused the trees to bend a bit therefore causing the line to slack. I could maybe see that happening with smaller diameter trees.

    Trees were roughly 6-8inch diameter, so maybe. Never noticed this happening before when I went through a little rain with the CRL.
