Clip on Tarp Pull Outs - Work great.

Thanks Dutch

Anyone use them on a sock?

Hey Dutch, do these get brittle in the cold weather?

I have not noticed any issue with cold. I guess if it gets to cold anything gets brittle. The last few batches we made with stronger hooks and have seen no issues.

I had 2QZQ add tarp doors and the Pole Mod on my MacCat Deluxe Tarp. I love the extra room, but not the weight of the poles. (@ 5ozs)

Do you know off hand what these weight, if anything? The farther I walk, the less I want to carry.

The clip on tarp pull outs weigh just under 4 grams (that is the clip and the donut). The 10 or so feet of 3/32" shock cord weighs in at around 13 grams (1.3g/ft). for a total weight of 17 grams per side or 34g for a set of two. FYI these are sold in as a set of two, there has been a few questions on this.

One more thing to add to my "Must Have" list!

Dutch - any idea if they would work to hold an REI emerency blanket (space blanket attached to a piece of thicker plastic - like the ripstop on those cheap tarps) to a blank from DIY? I would push both pieces through with the male end and pull tight with the female end.

Wondering if the thickness would be too much?

I am pretty sure it would be ok. There is a lot of flex in the black part

When needed, I've used them on my rain fly and on my sock...they work great.
Thanks Dutch.

Mountnman, I used mine at -20F last winter and again at -15F this winter, with lots of wind. I have had no problems with them getting brittle or moving around.

I really appreciate using them in fact. I can switch them around to provide extra pull on one side or another, depending on how strong the wind is.

Depending which hammock i use I can move them in our out from the edge. very versatile and easy to clip on the tarp. If I don't need them I just put them in my ditty bag.

They are great to pull out different areas of the tarp even if your tarp has side pull outs or to add a middle tie out in between the corner tie outs.
