I'm wanting a couple of dutch clips but I'll be buggered if I'm paying the extortionate price of shipping that Jacks R Better want.

Was surprised UKhammocks haven't brought those in but no doubt there's a reason.

Gone for a Fly and some hooks to make a full length ridgeline. Lets see how it goes 8-)

Having received a package of line and gear my immediate opinions are "feck me these things are tiny" closely followed by "blimey, this Zing It really is very yellow".

I have no other worthwhile or useful information to add. My career as a gear tester is likely to be extremely short. May bugger about outdoors at the weekend if the chance arises.

Cheers to Matt at UKhammocks for saving me p&p on the stuff even though my other order had already been despatched (so missing the opportunity to put little stuff in with something bigger / already paid for) and for the set up advice.

One other point. I think the dutch hooks will be too small to "clip" to anything other than small loops of Zing It. They certainly look too small to accomodate any of the fitting I have on existing tarps. Perfectly manageable, just not what I had at first imagined.

Lastly, can't believe how thin and light the Woodman X demo is (I am a gear whore with a discounted merchandise addiction :oops: ). I seriously doubt it will support me but (having seen a video of Mat) it must be up to it. No offence like 8-)
