    Tarp Flyz w locked brummels

    Ordered the Tarp Flyz spliced on 10ft of zing it with locked brummels. Wondering if one of the helpful members can provide some guidance on setting up my new tarp.

    I'm assuming the side without the loop is knotted onto my tarp. What is the purpose of the loop (brummel)? Leaving tomorrow and would love to be confident in my set up. Nothing like waiting till the last minute.

    I am guessing the locked brummel will need to hooked to your tarp with a binder and the tarp flyz threaded on the rope, you need a free end to wrap around the flyz. Maybe you have stingers that would make sense with brummel.

    The locked Brummel on the end is to larks head it to the D-ring or what ever your attach point it. It makes it real easy to install

    As they say, hang your own hang, but like Dutch said, the locked eye is designed to larks head around the d ring of your tarp. I keep the flyz set very close to the brummel, wrap the free end around the tree and lock with the flyz. Either way, enjoy.
