So I've started making my own hammocks as presents for people, and as such I'm trying to keep the costs down...a pair of whoopie slings for each hammock really adds up, and these aren't for gram counters. I have a feeling if I could find a place to buy a large quantity of those steel S-hooks that come with every Grand Trunk hammock (or most of them) it would wind up being one of the cheapest options for hanging the hammock from the suspension.
So does anybody know of a place to get hooks like that, that are strong enough to bear weight? Also, what kind of cord could I get to tie the hooks to the hammock that would be fairly cheap to buy in large-ish amounts? I don't know anything about climbing and thus nothing about rope...
