Zing It or Lash It is a pretty popular choice.
I'm using a 50' CRL made with 1.75mm Lash It. Weighs 1 oz.

Don't let life get in the way of living.
2MM PMI ultility cord from REI is what I have been using.
100's of places including amazon, ebay, and some of the cottage shops like JRB and Dutch

If you're not used to splicing you might go with 2.2 instead of 1.75. It's significantly easier to work with imho.

If you prefer gray instead of yellow:

I use the gray 1.75mm...got a 180'...works great w/ Dutchware! Also, if you order from Redden Marine be sure to use the forum discount code (hammockforums)! Their shipping is also pretty fast...3 days from WA to SC.
