    Question Nama Claw Gear - Just purchased some - anybody else use these

    I just decided to try these new Nama Claws. Should be here in about a week but was curious if anyone else is currently using them. It looks like one complaint is they tear up you tarp line with use. Are there any tips before I try things out?

    I purchased and tried these and while they work they do in fact slowly tear at the line. I went back to my good ol' prusik knot so I didn't have to worry about any metal around my tarp when stored.

    I've been using them for about a year. I didn't know about the complaints that they tear up your line. I have not had that problem at all.

    In fact, I'm about to purchase some more, I love them.

    I’m considering trying a few of them myself actually.

    I like my Nama Gear hooks fine BUT what I am going to is tying a loop on my tarp with a tiny Dutch Hook to clip onto a prussic loop on the tarps ridge line.Then I have just one Nama hook to use as the mechanical advantage point and it hooks onto it's own prussic so I do not have to whip up a knot.

    So what you would have at that point is a ridgeline with a Dutch Hook or Nite Ize Bone on the tree end,three prussics,one Nama Gear hook to do the work.It is quick,easy,light weight.

    I just remembered that I recorded a close up of my Nama claws on my tarp ridgeline for a video I did when I got my new UGQ tarp. I rewatched the video to see if there was any tear on the line and I didn't see any at all. I'm using zing it/ lash it. I had been using them for about 6 months at the time of the video.

    If you want to see for yourself, look around the 6:00 mark.

    curious if anyone else is currently using them
    Been using them for about a year now. Have not seen any sign of wear on my tarp lines and I have been using them with Lash It / Zing It, Dyemma and UHMWPE lines. Have converted all my tarp ridge lines over to using NAMA Claws.
    They do not slip like prussiks can.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    I’ve had the same experience of others on here in that I haven’t had any issues with fraying or tearing of the line (yellow zingit).

    I use them on my CRL and even got a few extra to try as tie-outs. They work well for tie-outs if you have shock cord to keep tension, but if you lose tension on the line they can slip.

    But as far as a ridgeline goes, they’re the bomb.

    Nama Claw Gear - Just purchased some - anybody else use these

    I run Dutch hooks around the tree and Nama claws to my tarp. I use a separate line on each side. I also keep my guy lines attached to my stakes and Nama claws to my tarp. I use zingit for all my lines and have run 1/6 inch shock cord through a portion of my guy lines to maintain tension.
