I use 1.75 Lash-It! for both ridge line and prusiks with three loops and it works perfectly. You just have to dress your knot properly.

I have found that a prussik made from 1/8" shock cord grips pretty much anything.

I just wish there was black for zing-it, lash-it, etc. I will have a black hammock and orange UCR's and a yellow RL
I may be dumb, but at least I'm ugly!
I've done so much, with so little, for so long, now I can do anything with nothing.
It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.
in looking at this knot, it seems that it only slides in one direction and loads in the other, whereas a prussik is capable of being loaded or slid to either direcion along the length of the line it's on.
i use prussiks for my tarp positioning and tensioning the ridgeline between trees (i got my set from arrowhead equipment), but i also got a set of guy lines that use prussiks for tensioning and adjusting as well. would a klemheist knot be practical for these tasks as well?
I tried Zing-It on Zing-It for my Superfly and was let down. I tried up to six wraps, and no matter how tightly I wrapped it, they would slip under the tension you're supposed to hang a Superfly. The way most people, I think, hang their tarp, I doubt it's too much an issue. To hang a Superfly the way Brandon recommends, I don't think it works. IMO, obviously.
