They only slip if your using the wrong size line loc or line. I use the lineloc 3 with 2 to 3 mm cord. Never had a slip.TrafficJam wrote:
I have a bunch of those and thought about using them or doing a combination of line locs and D rings but read that they're prone to slipping. Do you have that problem?jimmyjam wrote:

Those are perfect.TrafficJam wrote:
I have a bunch of these with attached grosgrain. It would save some work. The ribbon is only 1/2", is that strong enough for tie outs?jimmyjam wrote:

Either way is fine with me. Tarps is tarps.TrafficJam wrote:
sorry to hijack your tarp thread for my project, WanderingStovie. Should I move it to a new thread?

Yes. I made some reinforcement patches out of that black material I sent you a while back. Some people just use the same material as the tarp. Give me about 30 minutes and I'll post some pictures.TrafficJam wrote:
Just so we're clear (I'm not sure "tie outs" is correct), they will be attached to the tarp by the ribbon loops and the corners of the tarp will be reinforced. Since the ribbon is thinner than I planned, the reinforcement will be made from my hyperD scraps.jimmyjam wrote:

You need to reinforce all of them or the pull out will tear the tarp.TrafficJam wrote:
Is it necessary to reinforce all of them or just certain ones?

I want that CF tarp being sold on WB. I want it bad. Real bad.
Did you add clips to your tarp for attaching the poncho?NoAngel wrote:

I'm looking at the MLD bug bivy. It's small enough to allow a low pitch and doesn't look too confining.

The borah net bivy was my second choice. It's more affordable but doesn't look roomy enough. I'd love to see some pics and would like to know if you any of the net touches you and whether you can turn easily and exit easily.NoAngel wrote:
I put the hood over the hiking pole handle. I have added mitten hooks to the bottom of the poncho on mini bungies and hook them to the tarp tie outs. Its actually a parcho from Quest outfitter so shorter than a poncho but you could do the same with a poncho. I also just got a borah gear net bivy. I'll post some pics next week.
I believe the bug bivy will come with mitten hooks on them, if not that's what would use- attach the mitten hooks to the bivy with small shock cord to absorb movement from rolling over in the bivy. Velcro will want to stick to netting. I would make a mesh pocket from scrap netting and sew it to the top edge of the bathtub.TrafficJam wrote:
The bug bivy is in the mail. I'm thinking about using stick-on mitten hooks from z packs for hanging the bivy from the tarp. Or...stick-on loops with caribiner or lightweight clip.
I'm also thinking about adding a stick-on mesh pouch to either the tarp or bivy floor. Primarily for holding my glasses (worried I'll roll on them and break them during the night).
Opinions?
The bivy comes with a cord and loop, no hook. The CF tarp has nothing to hang the net from so I thought the stick-on mitten hook for the peak of the tarp (?).NoAngel wrote:
