    guy line stoage?

    no, i didnt misspell that. i was wondering what you guys did with your guy lines when packing things like tarps and such (to a much lesser extent, hammocks themselves too)

    since i got my SuperFly i have:
    4 lines for the doors
    4 lines for the corners
    4 lines for the panel pulls
    2 lines for the RL

    all that adds up, and can get a bit unruly at times.


    with my hammocks, since im inclined to show people to get them to convert i take my ENO out a lot when im out and here comes 6ft tree straps and whoopies, with the ARL and biners. rings etc....looks a mess to be honest.


    since im looking into snake skins for the tarp at least, i figured that even if i got the whole thing setup in them, once i closed the skins id still have a ton of line dangling out the middle.

    help?

    I wrap my lines just above the D rings.

    Not a very good pict only one I had that showed the line wrapped.

    I have a few of these and really like them. they would be easy to make also-

    I'm also testing shockcord loops around tarp ridgeline with small cord locks that I slide from the end and then tighten to catch the lines and pull them out straight. No picks at this time, hope you can get the idea from my description.
