Hey I was wondering what is the best way to tie down my rainfly so that when the wind blows it still stays tight?

Even in a time of elephantine vanity and greed, one never has to look far to see the campfires of gentle people hanging from trees.
Do a search on this site for tarp tensioners. There's a couple ways to do it. Take a look and see which sounds best to you.
Hey ...I got a good bit of tarp info on my Hammock How To videos.
The tarp part starts on PART 5.
Hope it may help.

Believe in the power of the Shug! I still watch his videos to pick up all kinds of info.

Yeah Shug's videos are actually some of the first I came across when researching hammock camping.
Very informational, and they're great for laughs, too! (Especially if you're a Slingblade fan. )
Another vote for Shug's videos. They really helped me out sifting through some of the lingo around here.
Plus, the man likes his cue w/ good ol' vinegar based sauce. Of course, here in Eastern NC that's the only way to go.
One more vote for shug's videos. I found myself not able to go back to work I just wanted to keep watching!
I'll also vote for ^shane^'s method, which is what I currently use.
I hope nobody watches his "fall" video first...may turn some newbies away after seeing that tragic episode
Shug has some great info out there. Another vote here....
I will be testing my DIY tensioners this weekend that I made, see this thread.

Suppose to be windy up at the Cheaha area, at Turnipseed camp...so we will see....
