TARP TIE-OUTS

[Shrewd]

I run Stingerz on the ridgeline tie outs and keep 4 fleaz on the corner tie outs.

I keep my ~6 feet of mine tied to and wrapped around the stakes. For me it makes storage easy and tangle free, and makes the stakes easy to spot/hard to forget.

The tarp goes in a snake skin and is then folded in half twice, then I wrap it up with the cord coming off the stingers and stick it in the shock cord on the outside of my pack.

I love it there as I can yank it out and string it up first thing if it’s storming, then slow down and work from under the tarp

So this fits in with something I've been thinking about. Does anyone remove their lines because their concerned about their Dutchware being packed in with their tarp? The first time I packed my tarp after rigging lines with tarpworms and wasps I was just thinking the whole time, this is a bad idea, but maybe I'm just paranoid. The tarp is 20d silpoly.

Has anybody actually put a hole in their tarp with the Dutch hardware or something similar? Hope I didn't waist money on the tarp worms when I should have gotten hookworms instead. And I don't really look forward to pulling my RL's off each time. Seems like a good way to forget something.

Tarp Worms & Hook Worms, Ti split rings, mitten hooks and resin TatoGear door clips all go in the double ended no-seeum stuff sack with the tarp. Not only have I never had an issue with the tarps, I have never had issue with the more delicate no-seeum.

Check out Derek Hanson’s latest on the Nama claws, a little non Dutch bling but very very useful for tarp adjusting. I’ve used prussics with Dutch hooks before now this seems like a new system developing for me. https://youtu.be/ZwSicGvDpfk
