That should be pretty easy.
NABD but I don't like to larkshead shockcord. It has some stiffness and spring and I've found it can pop loose off a D-ring or tieout. I like to tie it in a knot through the D-ring using a figure-8 or maybe a double-fishermans knot.
Good point - I had that concern lingering in my head
“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.”
I have not setup my superfly yet, but I too am worried about the larksheaded shock-cord. I made continuous loops shock-cord with fleaz. Not sure how well they will stay on.
I probably will add a bit of a bread tie to each as a backup perhaps

Not to hold it to it in use - but to secure it in case it comes undone

I tie the end of my shock cord tie downs in a sliding prussic. I loop it over the stakes so that it will come off without launching the stake at me or others. Works great so far.
Another addition: wish I took a photo - but what I did last night was use one of the doors staked down in the closed position with Dutch flea - and other door - I just hooked it on just below the other Dutch flea - worked great

Great thread, thanks for all the juicy tip morsels!
My submission for the SF tarp door tie-outs: 95 cm (I'm from 'the Europe') of OD shock cord, poacher-knotted to some micro-nano-pico plastic s-biners with one of the 2 gates removed. Cut some 8 cm strips of Khaki velcro and put some slits to pass and hold the cord in place. These help keep the shock cord bundled up and neat, since I'm not a big fan of the ole 'spaghetti bolognese' tarp a la zingit (O_o)
Any feedback would be appreciated, I'm aware cord locks would be a logical addition here, but I've yet to get my hands on any here (found some online but the minimum order is like a metric ton)
