I have been using a Zing-it RL w/ Dutch bling for a long time now but when I got my 11' hex from RSTBR, idk what it was, but something was just pulling me to try something new (lol). I've been wanting to try out a duel line to a while and figured this was the perfect opportunity. So, when I ordered my new hammock from HG, I also picked up 2 Line Loc 3's, 2 of their metal mitten hooks and 100' of dark olive reflective 2.3 mm line. The Locs are attached to the tarps beastie D's by a small loop of the cord right now until I make some more Zing-it soft shackles. Other than that it's straight forward: line around tree hooks back into itself with the metal mitten hook then tension with Line Loc and a slippery half for safety. So far I'm really liking its ease of use vs. the Zing-it w/ bling and not having to constantly move the wasp or re-tighten the soft shackles when they slip on the RL. It goes up and adjusts super easy. The only potential downside is that it stays with the tarp, so it could get tree sap on it. Other than that though, I went back to keeping the guyouts attached to my stakes instead of in the tarp. They now easily clip into the tarps beasties with Line Loc hooks and adjustments can still be made from underneath the tarp in bad weather. Now I don't have a rats nest to untangle if I hastily put the tarp in its skin w/o wrapping the lines neatly, I just skin it and wrap the lines around the stakes. Done.!
