Before you buy the 1/8 (maybe too late), I’d just use some braided mason line from your local hardware store. Works great! That’s what I use for all my tarp tie-outs, and ridge lines in a pinch.

Do they have any Zing-it or Lash-it? Look for the 1.75mm or 2mm thickness. That is ideal for the LoopAlien.

I was going to use it for a tarp ridge line. The 1/8th is the smallest that my local marine / boat shop carries. I’ll order some smaller stuff online. Thanks for the reply!

I don’t think so. The largest I’ve used is 7/64″ and it was tight. What are you planning to use the LoopAlien with? That diameter Amsteel is pretty serious stuff 🙂 I’ve used the titanium UFA version on a hammock suspension with 7/64, but that was just to test, and honestly isn’t a great idea because how it cuts into the line. I had to replace my suspension after I attempted it. The LoopAlien held up fine, but the turns are so abrupt that it is wearing on the line.

I really appreciate that; I’m pulling the trigger today and getting some of these. I’ve been looking for a couple of weeks and reading everything I can find on them. Your diagrams are some of the best at showing how you’ve used the LA, and you’ve used them in some very well thought out and advantageous ways! Very impressive!

Thanks Ricky! I’m always open to learn new things so keep questioning and we all benefit.
