Peanuts, I've got about 78" of extra spectra rope that I cut off of my hyperlight that I'm not using. I plan on making a homemade speer type hammock soon and will use this rope but I will have plenty left over. You can use it free of charge if you'd like.

I used the same knot that was already tied in the ENO when it came to me. All I did was untie the original knot, add the rings and retie the knot in the same fashion as the original. It seemed to work well for me. Like I said in another poll, I've slept 3 nights in it with zero slippage. Here are a couple more pictures of the final result. For webbing, I used 1" polyester from Strapworks with loops sewn in courtesy of HC. I picked up the BD biners @ my local outfitters. I really like the setup, it's quick, easy and makes setup a breeze.

This is the stuff Jeff recommends on the first page:http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-...ctra_cord.html
Kinda pricey though.
Dont know where you can get spectra like Hennessy uses.

Cool, thanks for the link, I appreciate it. I'm not a BPL member, but if anyone here makes an order, I may see if I can get in on it with them. I'm thinking about changing out the stock ENO line again and replacing it with Spyderline or even possibly the AirCore Spectra. I'll just have to wait and see what strikes my fancy. To be honest, I like the idea of the 3.8mm Spyderline, particularly with it's high strength rating.
