    Lots of Zing-it

    I won 240' of Zing-it in a giveaway and was wondering what ideas there were to use it all up.

    I have already made a couple of adjustable and fixed RLs, CL prusiks, and soft shackles.

    Was thinking about some mini whoopie slings for tarp guylines. Anything else?

    UCR's make better tarp lines than whoopies IMHO. But they use about half as much line so that doesn't help you use up your supply as quickly. Sounds like you have it covered tho', not much else left to make that I can think of off the top of my head.
    Good luck,

    I made a winter tarp CRL with wall supports.
    The tarp lays over the top and is held on with prussics and clips on all 6 tie points.
    Kind of a poor mans pole mod.

    I turned a whole lot of extra zing-it into gear on the Pay it forward thread.

    I could use a few feet for my set up, if you are in the holiday mood.
    Plus I'm still learning to make loops and shakles, and what-nots.

    Yes, put some up for sale. It is the most popular stuff for tarp lines, ridge and tie-out.

    I ended up with 600' of Lash-it. I have lots of uses for it, but will probably end up selling some when I get done with my projects.

    You could make a bunch of tie-lines with a tucked bury on one end and a fixed brummel loop on the other for those people who like fancy guy-lines:-)

    You could always use it to do some string figures: http://www.isfa.org/sfotm/sfotm_2013.htm

    High strength would keep you from breaking it.

    An maybe make some ultra strong doilies or macrame:-)

    What a bout knitting a Dyneema sweater?
    It's stronger than steel and so would make good chain mail.

    Keep an eye on the PIF thread, I'd be glad to claim some from you.
