    They absolutely do. But I don't know the weight. AHE stuff is excellent as well.

I added the one to the bowline loop because I don't want to *have* to remove the ridgeline from the tarp every time I pitch it and take it down (I guess I could make a much larger loop and pass the whole works, tarp and all through there but it just seems slow and clumsy, and would probably weigh as much or more?). With the ones I use on the tarp, it just gives me a quick option to remove the tarp from the ridgeline if I want to. For example, I might decide after pitching that I want to run the tarp under, instead of over the ridgeline... pull one stake and the two clips and I can switch it around. Speed and convenience vs. weight <shrugs>
    What I do instead of the little biner on the tarp, that's probably just as fast, and faster to break down:
    After I wrap the ridgeline around the tree, I pop a bight from the standing end through the bowline on the end, and stick a little twig through the bight to keep it there. I use really small twigs, and when breaking camp, I either just slip them out, or break them with a quick tug. No weight, and very fast.
    Granted, it would only save you a couple of grams, but it's a tad bit simpler, and debatably faster, so HYOH and YMMV.

    If you need/want a picture, I'm sure i can come up with something.

    It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Formerly known as Acercanto, my trail name is MacGuyver to some, and Pucker Factor to others.

    It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness. - Randy Glasbergen

    Yeah I should have checked back for the exact number but the 300+ user stuck in my mind more from some PMs Paul and I went back and forth on. Sorry and thanks.

    And from whoopieslings.com- "There is a 200 pound hammocker weight limit on these, so if you are over 200 pounds, then these aren't for you."

    Props to those who wish to push the envelope, I'm gonna pass though I hate falling to the ground almost as much as I hate sleeping there!
