Hi guys, just a quick question, am new and yet to use my dd frontline and xl tarp, have got some 550 paracord here and wondering if this is sufficient for the tarp Ridgeline or if i need to buy some stronger stuff? If it not sufficient any recommendations for suitable stuff?
Thanks in advance.
Paracord is plenty strong enough, however, it is stretchy. You will find it difficult to get a constant sag in your hammock as every little change will change the stretch. I would recommend something like zing-it or lash-it for your RL as they will not stretch. YMMV.
Gonna go with amsteel blue for my hammock single line suspension but thought this would be overkill for the tarp ridgeline and also very expensive lol.
it is a little overkill, but it works great!
Was thinking of some climbing accessories rope or something but will wait til pay day and get 32m of amsteel if that best, need some tree hugas too but was gonna make my own out of the webing i remove from my frontline.
Get zing-it it works great for a tarp ridge line
I use paracord for my big tarp and have had no issues.

Since i have the stuff laying around I'll try the paracord, worse case I'll get wet i suppose lol.
