Hi everyone!
I have a piece of gear that I bought a few years ago and am dusting off and getting ready to use. It is a tarp made by MLD that they no longer make. They now have a cuben version of it with a variety of differences. My tarp is called the MLD Spinn Asym tarp. I weigh it at 6.7 ounces, which is pretty attractive (and why I am trying to learn how to use it in lieu of the 21 ounce tarp I have been using regularly.)
Anyway, it has these strange black plastic gadgets at the four corners. I have invented a variety of ways to attach cords to them, but I am wondering if anyone knows about these things and how they are actually supposed to be used? If people are totally confused and ask, I can post a photo. They look like small black butterflies.
Also I am curious if anyone has experiences with this tarp. It is kind of a lopsided rectangle and looks pretty meager to me. It did fine this past weekend with just a tiny drizzle gently falling, and I'll bet it would be fine for any amount of rain coming straight down, but I am skeptical how it will be with wind and rain. Another photo may well be required here.
