I have not been able to do the follow up yet. My HNO Tarp-Sock (I'm calling them SUBs) will be in this weekend. If it is here before my trip, the line will be on it. If not, I'll put the line on my tarp for the weekend and will make mention in the video trip report.

Anyone receive a shipment lately who can tell me about how long it took? I am waiting for mine.

I would say at minimum, two weeks. If you ordered on the first you should see them middle of next week.

It took almost a month for mine to arrive.

Mine took about two weeks which from Hong Kong is pretty good. They also fit my mini-linelocks just fine. Have ordered some 3/32" bunge cord to add to my tarp line tie outs. This is for a MacCat Standard tarp.

I did have to wait a while till the 1.1 mm was back in stock. That took longer than the shipping. I am thinking of ordering another set to put on my wife's tarp.

Have you really pulled hard to check that the mini line locs hold? Curious because I'm thinking of going that route if they hold well.

Mine just arrived today, so haven't had a chance to try them with the line-locks yet.

I'm not too worried about some slippage, my 1 mm G-Line has got me in the habit of tying a quick hitch after I first tighten down the line lock. Not a bad habit to get into anyways. I had a lock give way with 1.75 zingIt in a big gust - not a pleasant way to be awoken during the night
Can't wait to give these a try--I think shipping was also ~3weeks

Totally mostly off topic, but I've also got one of his cuben wallets. I have the original, in black. Very nice work. Its holding up very nicely, but I don't pocket carry my wallet anymore (it lives in the doom-bag) but because its thin and smooth, it works well in thin pack pockets.

Used them this weekend and had no issues with winds blowing at over 20 MPH. I tied them the way it shows on the website except I used a figure 8 stopper knot instead of an overhand knot to make it big enough not to go back through the hole. Here is the web link where I bought them showing the tying arrangement.
