Nacra Prusik

For furling the tarp, I'm going to use a shock cord Nacrabiner larksheaded to the ridgeline.

A decent solution... I like it. Well done.

Thank you kindly.

For some reason, I keep wanting to call these things either Narco-biners or Orca-biners... can't get Nacra-biners to come out first!

My gratitude to nacra533 for introducing them to the forum, but I don't like jargon, and "soft shackles" works already.

Is that essentially a spliced loop, an overhand, and a backsplice?

I think im gonna replace my snake skins with stretchy nacras, the skins smell bad after a fair amount if use anyway.

Are you still going to use skins?

Speaking to the nacra furling idea, I wonder if it would be lighter than having skins, have 8-9 tiny nacras that furl your tarp. How much does one of your nacras for furling weigh opie?

It's not a spliced loop. I create the lock like on a normal shackle, then leave enough room in the line to be able to open it up and bury the rest.

For the stopper, I backsplice enough to be able to tie an overhand knot in the backsplice to make the knot fatter.

Okay, sometimes I do like jargon.

I don't use skins... I'll furl and stuff!
