Nice ideas! I think I'll make up a couple of those tent peg wraps

[Boothill]

Wow, Boothill! You hit a homer with every one of those.
They all go in the category of, "Why didn't I think of that!"
(With the accompanying forehead slap)

thank you!

Very nice. Some great ideas thanks

your welcome!

I love that quick disconnect on the WB tie out. Fantastic idea as well as the Ridgeline... I intend to copy much of this so thanks for sharing... soon as I have an original thought, I will post here as well...
Thanks!

not all original thoughts but there is a couple there i've never seen anyone else do

Great ideas. Gives me something to think about/tryout during the hot days ahead. Thanks for sharing this and starting the thread.

your very welcome!

I recently bought a pair of reproduction Viet Nam era jungle fatigue trousers to use as hiking pants (when you find something that works, stick with it). I removed the drawstring at the cuff and replaced it with shock cord and a cord lock.

Then there's the Pawn Bags in my signature line---

cataraftgirl had the pawn bags on her tarp at the utah hang, love those things, gonna put a sent on my tarp sometime soon!

Great post with lots of ideas, thanks for sharing.

anytime!

Installed the quick disconnect on the XLC today. Will come in handy.
Often I will unhook one mitten hook and clip it to the line but I like having this option as well.

glad you found something to help you out

Nice ideas. Looks like it's time for you to start splicing Amsteel instead of using knots.

lol......was wondering how long it would take for this comment to rear up have thought about changing it so everything is nice and clean and spliced but this seems to work just fine and having a hard time finding the motivation to actually do it

Simple and effective, I like it.

seems to usually be the best solution most the time

Nice ideas! I think I'll make up a couple of those tent peg wraps

Love the ridge line idea, I'll be doing that and the tyvek idea. I need something to sit on. Tore a small hole in a brand new pair of North Face hiking pants the other day sitting on a rock.

Really really basic, but I just made my first set of tree straps and decided to add an elastic loop to them to keep them tidy. I'm sure someone else has already done it but I figured it would go in this thread. Hope the pictures work, I'm new here. Red thread because as many a sew-er knows, some black thread has a tendency to break more often.

Edited to include pegs my teen made for me. He cut, drilled, filled and textured them and I attached them to the end of the straps so we don't loose them. He is proud of the job he did and wanted me to show them off.

always seems to happen the first time out when you tear a hole in something

That stake wrap is great! I want to make a bigger one for my tent poles. Oops, busted. I still have a ground dwelling setup.

I believe you meant to say that it'd be for the tarp poles: pole mod!
It's a good idea actually, especially if you wanted to use the wrap as an under hammock ground cloth for shoes or standing on, etc.

These are very clever! Like boothill mentioned, cataraftgirl had these in Utah....I plan to steal the idea!
