Gbolt that is exactly what I just got. Wasps for the ridgeline, fleaz for the tie-outs, and tarp door hooks. Also bought some tarp worms to try for the tie outs, to see if they're really as easy as they look for **** near no weight... We'll see what I end up using. I'll let you know how it goes when it all gets here!
I felt slightly nauseous clicking 'buy' on all that, but now I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas, gonna have to start stalking the mailman.
Ditto on that.I'm a Zing-It 1.75 mm user
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
I like Zpacks Ultralight Spectra cord, 1.25 found here: http://www.zpacks.com/accessories/spectra_cord.shtml
becasue it's still it doesn't tangle like other cordes. The yellow is handy to see during the day. Add's little to now weight.
I also use/love Dutch's tarp worms; I think they're the perfect set up.
Unlike some, I do like using a piece of shock cord to secure the tarp worms to the tarp D rings. I don't do it so much to get the perfect taut pitch but rather to have just a small amount of flex at the attachment points. May be foolish and may not even work but I like to think it'll have just enough flext to prevent a tear or other damage if I trip on a guy line. I also use a piece of shock cord with a soft shackle to secure the tarp to the continous ridgeline; same reason.

Good to know. I am sooo jealous!Originally Posted by Azrial
I use lineloc 3 with straps attached to them from Zpacks on all points minus doors, I then use 2mm Zline and for extra adjustability I put mini cord locks on the ends of the tieouts too.
Zing it with prussik knots for tarp ridgeline is "very nice".
