    Guy Lines ???

    I ordered my SuperFly on Thursday -in camo... I am leaning heavily toward Flyz for the hardware. Historically, knots are not my friend. My question is on the guy lines. What is the difference between the various ____-It lines? Which one do I want to go with? I know I have some time before my tarp arrives.

    I am under the impression that the coatings are a little different but they are both good for guylines... pick a colour lol.

    Dutch Stingerz are perfect for hanging tarps, I love mine. I find them easier then the flyz

    I think that my new CF3 tarp deserves a Stingerz but don't know if it will work with the 1.5mm line I use so wrote Dutch to find out.

    MDSH, they do work with 1.5mm, I am using this stuff atm http://www.frjonesandson.co.uk/produ...throwline-50m/ and flyz work fine, if they are dyneema with poly sheath then they will snag the sheath but still work short term.

    If you find they are too loose you can close the antenna a little with pliers and placing a razor blade inside it.

    At least that's roughly what Dutch said on a previous thread.

    I use the 1.75 Yellow Zing it. There is also a Red Zing It but it is harder to find. Lash It is the same thing but gray.

    Thanks everyone. I ordered a pair of Stingerz, 4 door hooks, and 100' of lash-it to start with. It will be here on Friday. My SF only took 2 weeks!

    I will be back on Mt Hood next weekend for the Mt Hood 50 ultra marathon. My son is going with me so he will get to enjoy his first hang. I think his Hennessy will make me appreciate my Warbonnet suspension that much more. We both want to give the Hennessy a chance before swapping out the suspension.
