    On a related note, be aware of tension adding up on your ridgeline and non-corner (think door "hinge") tieouts. When I'm setting up, I pull my RL only just tight enough to take most of the sag out of it, but by the time I've got all the others tied out, there's quite a bit of tension on that RL.
    I use hair ties for my tensioners, and even used them down to 10F this past weekend with no loss of stretch.

    It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Formerly known as Acercanto, my trail name is MacGuyver to some, and Pucker Factor to others.

    It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness. - Randy Glasbergen
