Lash-it or Zing-it are commonly used for hammock ridgelines. Great for tarp lines and other things as well.

I like 2.2mm Lash-It/Zing-It for my adjustable ridgelines.

I use standard 1.75 Zingit for the ARL.

Do you do the ARL with zing it like you would an amsteel whoopie sling

I like the whoppie style adjustable ridgelines made from lash it or zing it

Yes. Only the fixed end is much longer, because you don't need a very short ridgeline.

Will have to make one later for my diy hammock that’s I’m trying to get adjusted

An adjustable structural ridgeline can be made the same as a whoopie sling the difference being you don’t need a lot of adjustability so the adjustable loop can be smaller and you have a much longer distance between the fixed eye loop and the bury of the adjustable loop (feet instead of inches). Not to say it can’t be made exactly like a regular whoopie sling but that uses more cordage than is needed.

Thanks. I’m about to start mine now
