    Improvements to Tarp System

    Changed the ridge line to Lash It -- wow -- much easier to handle than the sheathed spectra, which I'll still use for guy lines. Got a Dutchware Stingerz for pulling it tight -- very cool piece of gear.

    Changes make it easier to pitch and reduces weight to 13.8 ounces: 9x10' .74 oz. CF3 tarp, pair of 5' mule tape tree huggers, two pairs of mini carabineers, and two Y stakes with corresponding guy lines.

    great improvements!

    only difference in mine is yellow ZING-IT

    great improvement over the stock HH system

    & EASIER for this old man to see!!!

    also love the Y stakes w/ reflective cord loops

    you folks who carry all your stuff on your backs should, also, love the weight savings

    as for my M/C, she doesn't care about an ounce or 2, just the pack size benefits

    Sounds great. I find using dutchware to be redundant as I find knots to be easyish and lighter and way cheaper. But they would be convenient to have. Thanks mate.
