Anyone using dyneema instead of parachord for a ridgeline?
Wondering what diameter line you use?
Prussick knots with same diameter line too?

Yes I use 3mm dyneema and haven’t broken it yet, I use Prussics if the same diameter cord but find they can slip if I use less than about 5 turns (so I just use more turns) interestingly it grips better after the line is ‘used’ and weathered a bit - I don’t know if there is a preservative that wears off, or a coating perhapsAnyone using dyneema instead of parachord for a ridgeline?

I use a lashit/zingit ridgeline from Henge Hammocks. Has a titanium hook at one end and a Dutch Wasp at the other. Also i have 2 Nama Claws to attach to the tarp using a dyneema loop. Very light, no knotts and very quick to set up and adjust.

Can you post pics? I have e looked at these but wasn’t sure if they would work/how they work/are they worth it?
I use 2 x small shackle things 2 x prussics and the ridgeline and a seperate dyneema loop for one end of the ridgeline. Would be great to slim all that down further
Here you go from the owner himself:
I use the stingerz on my tarp, clipped to the tie out points so no actual ridgeline needed.
For my tarp ridge line I use some pink dyneema with a loop alien to secure round the first tree then a itze figure nine to tension round the second tree.
I also have a number of prussiks permenantley on the ridge line, two of which are used to string up my tarp.
My tarp is kept in snake skins with crabs on each end, and is hung below the ridge line.
