That is what I did. I made a whoopie sling for the adjustability. I use a blake's hitch to keep the loosend up and out of the way. This allows easy adjustability while not being bothered by the loose end. Once I find the sweet spot, I will mark the length and cut the line to make it a fixed length ridgeline.

I could send you the amsteel at cost, you need about 18 ft and usps shipping is about $1.20. 23x.18= 4.14 + 1.20 = 5.34. you would be better off buying a quantity from redden mariene using the discouint code, you will be wanting more to play with if you are anything like me. I have bought several hundred feet so far.

I use 7/64, both are more than strong enough for hammock use.
