Did you get your knotbones? and how do they preform? I'm still leaning towards the figure 9 carabiners but not sure what the best move would be..
OK Doody, I get what your saying and it seems to be a great idea. After looking at the Knot bones and the regular figure 9's this idea of going from the tarp itself the way you did seems best. One...

After looking at the different figure 9's the original design would make more sence i think. I was considering hooking the carabiner to the plastic on the tarp but that would require your lines to...
Figure 9 on Clark Rain Fly
Just wondering how you guys/gals are or would use a figure 9 on the Clark rain fly. The strings on the fly are really thin, I'm wondering it they are to small for a figure 9 also would it work best...
