    Stowing Guylines

    I am currently just wrapping them around my rolled up tarp and that seems to actually work as long as I am careful not to tangle them when unrolling.
    My Tarp has 8 Tie-outs.

    I've seen the Pawn Bags http://godgunspoliticsandhammockcamp...pawn-bags.html
    I've Fig8 wrapped them in place.

    I have thought about tying a little rubber band at each tie out.

    What do you do?

    I roll them up in the tarp. This is one area of hammocking where, at group hangs, I see the most obsessive/compulsive behavior. I've seen people remove the guylines and ridgeline and pack them separately, figure 8, their tarp has guyline pockets (like the HH Hex), rubber bands, etc.

    This seems to come up 1-2 times per month. Seems like we're always adding hangers and that's a good thing.

    Like SS, I just roll the tarp with the lines in place. Since I have prussics on my tie-outs, sometimes I shorten the line so that they are about even from the tie-out and roll into the tarp(if maxed deployed).

    Tarp skins hold everything in place and easy to deploy when needed.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    I started off figure 8ng them but found that they came undone inside the snake skins and given enough opportunity they would tangle with each other and multiply just like cheap hangers do...

    I added noseeum pockets to the inside of the tarp at all the guy line spots. All my tieouts have lineloks and shock cord on them so I just stuff the line inside the pocket and then can pull them back out by grabbing the shock cord.

    Now the only lines that get to play in the dark and are the side tie-outs... and they're not mating so it's all good!

    I really like those pawn bags. That guy is really smart.

    And good looking, too.

    I roll mine in the tarp, and the tarp into snakeskins. No tangles.

    Sew in or stick on (cuben tarps) some pockets......wrap them the way you like em,
    then tuck them safely away in their tieout pockets. No more tangles.
    Mountain views are good for the soul....& getting to them is good for my waistline.

    Ain't got no time for that. I just roll mine up in my tarp like others here have mentioned. I also use Z-Line which is less prone to tangles.
