2.2 Lash-it and LineLoc3's a "no go"

[OutandBack]

Wonder if you can add short piece of shock cord the diameter you need and it can lock on the line lock? That will give you some stretch when the wind blows real hard! Never played with line locks before. Always used taughtline hitch (still do) at the stake side of line. I added shock cord at tarp since it was sil for gettin wet factor to keep it tight. Benefit i found it also gave some give to lines on strong gusts!

Thanks for the idea rich. I'd really like to keep this tarp as light as possible. I've heard shock cord is heavy don't know though never tried it.

This is a bummer. I've been using 2.2 with line locks and love those devices. I guess the wind hasn't been strong enough to have them slip yet but I can see how that could happen.

I know what you mean Ron.
The 2.2 held well in my backyard testing with just light winds and I love the way LineLoc3 work, so simple to adjust.
In keeping in the spirit of LW hiking the cuben tarp and Lash-it just seem to be a perfect match. I wished it would have worked for me.


FYI future and current cuben tarp owners.
A loose cuben tarps is noisy (kept me awake) however not as noisy as a loose spinn.
Keeping a cuben tarp tight is critical on a windy nite.
