    Tarp Storage

    I just got my MCDLX and i need a fast easy way to store the tarp. I have some Hennessy snake skins left over and have it in there for now, i was think of a bishop bag or even the storage bag it came with just sew a button hole in the bottom.

    while you are chiming in how about some easy knots or easy LIGHT way to set up the ridge line. on the guy lines i have tiny prussick knots for fast easy taut set up on the sides

    I like using the small aluminum NiteIze figure 9 carabiners for the ridgeline. As far as the bag goes for the tarp I'd just use the stuff sack it came in and do a button hole.

    Thats it! I just got my new Traveler, and it comes in a single ended stuff sack, not a double like my BB. I didn't want to stuff my soon to be grungy straps in with my hammock, this will work good!
