Won't hold in any kind of serious weather, which of course is when you need them to hold the most.
I tried them at one point but found their lack of adjustibilty to be very frustrating. Maybe it was just me. May be I had a bad style but I quickly went to the figure 9
I wonder how much live tension is on those guy lines???
where's those math guys when you need them??!!!
Cordlocks would probably work ok until the wind starts blowing.
I'm using these and must say I really like them. On the ridgelines I use them with a mini biners and they're fast and easy. After tightening them, just finish with a hitch the same way you would for hammock strap rings.

Speyguy, I am liking those adjusters, can they be used with existing setups?
or do you have to sewn them into the webbing loop?

Yes, you can use them with existing set ups. I retrofitted one of my existing tarps with them by attaching them to the grosgrain loops with a prussic loop.

although i wouldn't use it for a tarp, the top left cord lock works very well on a pair of shoes I have. It is a good link. I love little plactic things that go click in the night.
Speyguy, those things look cool, although i couldn't get you link to work. I assume there isn't any moving part on it and it is using the tension applied to keep it from slipping, is that correct. I think I need them too.
