Post scripturally, and with much respect for the remaining points of your post: Yes, bungee/shock cord good. Me like. All my tie-outs are entirely bungee. Entirely. No dainty splicing-in for this crude man! I do the HH2O FOR the water and EXCLUSIVELY for the water. I'm well experienced with proper, snappy tarp tensioning. I'm in this (HH2O) game strictly for the water. I'm never so well placed and so intelligently planned that I can always make my hangs nearby to, or right on, a safe, secure, steady source of fresh, potable water. - Regarding these "folks to whom weight is of even moderate concern": I, at 250pounds, am not going to successfully delude myself that I'm ANYthing like an ether-lite, hyper-lite, ultra-lite, light-weight, sorta-lite, wish-I-were-lite, hammock camper. Hardly a thing more contemptably laughable than a big man packing little gear! No. Not for me. I gotta "keep it real", as the kids these days say, and pack for the man I am, whether I like me or not. I'll happily trip along, and carry me one or two funnels and a couple collapsible bottles. You might put 'em in my pack, or you might take 'em outta my pack, but I'd never know it. I'm not so sensitive that I'd EVER feel the difference. But I know I been dry nuff to 'preciate the difference 'tween Needin' water and Havin' water!! It's just one tool in my box of ways, and I don't for a minute imagine that irondog's ways are for everyone. No one need do as irondog does. As Grandma always done told me: "Nicky! Don't do like they says or does! Do like what's right! Or else!" Nuff said. Good ol' Grandma!
