Hey guys viper here!
Alright well I ran I to an issue using my new tarp flys.
A run down of how I'm setting up is I set up one side of my tarp CRL but warping it around the tree then using a mini carabeaner to clip it to the CRL so that side it fixed not adjustable and on the other side of the CRL wraps around the other tree then I use the tarp fly to tighten up the CRL then obviously lock it off using the tarp fly. And on the CRL I have two different prussic knots one for he head end of the tarp and one for the foot end. I have one carabeaner in each end of the tarp and I just clip the tarp to the two prussic knots that are already set up on my CRL.
So if your following me still here comes my issue.
So when I try and tighten up the tarp buy sliding the two prussic knots apart that are attached to the tarp ends the end that has the tarp fly on the CRL obviously can't slide if the tarp fly is in the way if the prussic knots movement.
So with this said I can't tension up my tarp because of the tarp fly is in the way of the prussic knot moving. So say I try and move the tarp fly closer to the tree then I can't tension it up very well. And I obviously can't move it closer to the center of the tarp because still in the way of the prussic.
And I have thought of well just put the prussic knot on the outside of the tarp fly but then the tarp fly would be underneath the tarp...
I don't know if this is making any since I'm trying my best to explain this, but if it is has anyone had this problem? And how can I fix this/improve?
Was out their for a while yesterday trying to find a way around this before my campout coming up (new to flys) been using stingers. Thanks for the help guys!
