Problems I am having:
I hate the rope that came with the Claytor Diamond Fly, I am looking for a fast and more simple way to set up my tarp. I have heard great things about Speer No-tangle guy line and wonder if just swapping them out for that would be a solution. I attach my tarp to the trees using a taut line hitch so I dont have to mess with figure 9's or anything like that.
Also, are tensioners needed on a tarp like this? I didnt think so because it isnt Spinn but just thought I would ask.
Next, I wonder if snake skins would help me speed up my setup process. Those with snakeskins, do you just take the snake and mash it up in the stuffsack with your lines that attach to the tree hanging out?
My only complaint with this tarp is that LOTS of air flows around you even when pitched low. My next purchase will be an OES Maccat Deluxe so I can fold the sides to make doors or a big mambajamba.
