# 0 s biners? Strong enough? No criticism, just wondering since I am looking for some new binder/hooks too for tarp setup.
I used to use 550 paracord with some clips I got from a boating application (prussiks to adjust the tarp). I changed the cord and the hooks are too big...(heavy).
S biners and Figure 9's are relatively easy to get around here (Holland - The Netherlands [Europe]).
Dutch ware (the Hammock Dutch!) is on the shopping list too, but for now that would only make Customs happy with import taxes

dust lightly with talc powder and the silicone won't stick anymore
They should be good enough under any conditions up to about gale-force winds. Plus, you want the hardware to be the failure point in any sort of high-stress environment, as it's the easiest to replace. All it takes to replace the 'biner is a knot. To replace anything else requires line (or, if you're really unlucky, sewing skills and a good patch with some seam sealant).
My set-up is designed with the following for "firebreaks": 'biner-->shock cord tensioners-->tie-outs-->ridgeline. That way, the easiest things to replace in the field break before the harder things, with the tarp being the last thing to go. If I get all the way to the tarp ripping, well, I've got bigger worries than just the tarp!
