Dutch clips seconded! Awesome little piece of kit. Some people are surprised when they find the hammock arrives without carabiners (if you get the webbing straps) so grab a couple (or Dutchware) in advance.

That's what I did... I actually got two rigs before my WBBB got here.
I'm just waiting an mail from ukhammocks that the have the wbbbdl 1.7 in stock, thel i'll order it.
I'm wundering weather to by a Superfly ore just a Edge Tarp?
i'm from Denmark as you can se, so i'm leaning mostly to the edge.
Thats what I did while I was waiting. I got some Zing-It and made my ridge line using Mini Dutch clip and a tarp Fly. I also made adjustable guylines with prusik loops. Worked out greatI got a new dbl. 1.7 XLC this spring, and it is a FINE hammock!!!! And the Superfly truly is a SUPER tarp.
One thing you can do to prepare is buy your tarp guy-out line material and make up your lines. I think the Warbonnet site has a video that tells you the ideal number and length of lines. I added a couple of mitten hooks to the tarp "door" D-rings and rigged up my lines so I could clip them together under the tarp when the doors weren't deployed.
I also purchased a pair of Titanium Dutch Clips for my XLC's tree straps. Highly recommended (like any of Dutch's goodies).

Just got a refund from Brandon...they are out of guyline and I had 100ft on my order. I'm hoping that means it's almost ready to ship.
Any recommendation for a source? How about Jacks R Better's self tensioning lines?
Same deal here. I e-mailed Brandon and if I get a response I'll let you know what he recommends.
Thanks very much!
I just grabbed 100ft from Dutch. That dude has everything...
He said that Arrowhead (http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/) carries basically the same thing but it's called "utility line". I went ahead and did what you did though and picked it up from Dutchware (http://dutchwaregear.com/25-feet-of-zing-it.html) since it was quite a bit cheaper.
