Right have found a few UK sites that sell Zing-it This one was the cheapest http://www.abbeypro.co.uk/ never used them so have no idea if they are any good.
Samson Zing-it Throw line 1.75mm x 55m = £25.03 inc Vat + £4 delivery which isnt too bad at all espcially if you are spliting it between a few people.

It's not so much an issue with the tarp as once it's tied up it doesn't really move anywhere, webbing for the hammock makes sense and it gets strained and twisted as you move about.
Your Best bet for Zing it/ Lash it GB is via http://www.reddenmarine.com/ Give them a ring if you order in bulk you would get a great discount, as for the GB with Dutch i wouldnt hold your breath, this is just a side line for Thom and i know he has a lot of work on with the normal orders! you may also struggle to get the Dutch clips via him as he gave all rights to "Jacks r Better" regarding the clips and Biners. worth a try tho, i will be watching out to see what happens!
2.2mm Lash it will work fine with the Hooks & Flyz but i would go no bigger as it will wear away at the rope fibers....
One thing to watch guys- Dont pack your ridgeline with hooks and Flyz on in with your nice new Sil/Cuben tarp as you may snag it and tear a great bloody hole in your kit! keep it seperate and you will be fine.

Rich is spot on,
There souldnt be too much tension on your ridge, you should apply the tension via your corner tie outs that way you get the correct Catcut shape and no creases!

Got a message back from Dutch He is interested and would like to think about it,so lets cross our fingers and hope it happens there will be a limit to the amount of hooks and flyz for each person if it happens .
I am interested in the Flyz and hooks - I already have Lash-It from Redden Marine along with my previous lot of Amsteel and got the Hammock Forum discount too.
pity - I was going to buy a pair of Dutch clips from JRB at $12.9, but the $30-odd postage put me off
interested in the clips / biners though

Does make me wonder how much to would cost to get something similar made over here. Would it be cheaper then the shipping?
It did make me laugh that it costs so much to post something that's supposed to weigh next to nothing

JRB will refund you the actual difference once they've posted, they say $30 for international orders but they will honour the refund.
If the group buy goes ahead put me down for 3 hooks and 1 flyz. If his clips and biners are included I may take 2 as well
Guys I spoke with Dutch late last night, I think you may be in luck! He seems like he is going to do it but watch this space! I'm in for a load if it happens.

Wow... a GB on Dutch's bits, I am up for some of that. I must keep an eye on this thread & the GB section oto see when things start to move. Now that I have my BMBH & some Amasteel, this is the next place to go.
