    VIDEO: Tarps, Tieouts and Stormy weather testing

    I updated a couple items on my Membrane Sil tarp, added some new line to the Tarp Worm tensioners from Dutch. I included a quick tutorial on how I set those up and got a thunderstorm test in as well. Hope you find something of value in it.

    Great video explaining the tarpworms. I'm thinking I'll use line loc 3s instead, though, so the line doesn't have to be permanently attached to the tarp. Also, wondering if using thicker bungee might make tightening the lines in the middle of the night unnecessary.

    The tarp worms aren't permanent. I larks headed the shock cord to the tieout point. I can take them off and change to something else any time I want in a matter of seconds. I am thinking that I may shorten the length of the shock cord however. I don't really need that much stretch because of the way I set up my tarp. That should give me an opportunity to find some lime green shock cord in 3/32 or 2 mm diameter to replace it with.
