1.75 mm zing it

[mainewoods]

Hello Folks Very New to Ham-mocking and I see a lot of folks being up 1.75 mm zing it First what is it and what do you use it for Ridge-line Maybe ??

[Bubba]

You can use it for a ridgeline but it is very popular for tarp tie outs. Its a hollow braid so it is spliceable which makes for neat knot free lines.

I just bought my second 180' spool!

I use it for everything except hammock suspension.
Hammock ridgeline
Tarp lines
Stuff sack closure
Spare shoelace
Etc.

Its better in the sense that it is lighter, less bulky, does not soak up water, and it does not stretch. Arrowhead Equipment and Dutchware also sell some IIRC.
