thanks for the view and comment!

I tried this. Thanks for the idea, and thanks for being willing to share. I think, though, that the tie-out loop snugs so securely behind the knot that you don't really have to do the "between the legs and over the head" thing. Until I learn the folly of the plan, that's how I intend to do it. We'll see how it works out. And here's another thing that your idea has helped - I have several tarps that I use alternately, depending upon circumstances. And my tie-outs all contain shock cord sections and the little plastic cord-locks that I like to use. I was having to make sets of these for each tarp. Now, I can use one set. Neat!

This is cool. I was thinking about doing a simpler version of this and you just confirmed that it's totally doable. Basically, I want to try attaching my tie-out lines directly to a prussic loop that is attached to each tie-out point on the tarp. So basically, scratch the button knot and the extra blue loop. It wouldn't be quite as versatile as what you did here, but on the other hand, it would enable me to get the tarp closer to the ground in the event that I had a hammock failure or was in an area with no trees and needed to go to the ground. Thanks for sharing this!

I've been playing around with the following: A) guyline to the stake B) prusik on that guyline, with an ITW toggle attached to the other end of the prusik C) a bowline attached to the corner of the tarp. Assemble by pegging the stake into the ground, attaching the ITW toggle to the bowline at the tarp corner, and pulling on the working end of the guyline to tighten the assembly, the prusik performing the same function as in this video, and securing the line with a slippery half hitch. What do you think?

sounds pretty effective , I use the toggles alot , very versatile...

Hey Jeff. Just set up both my tarps (Super Fly and Mini Fly ) like this. I was worms on one tarp, and a prusik tie out system on the other. I am good at prusiks, but your system is way easier. Thanks for the great idea. Cheers from Chicagoland!

That's a sweet rig man. My Hennessy deluxe explorer came pre rigged so i never really messed with it , but boredom may get the best of me this winter and i might mess around with alternatives, its easy enough now if i make it anymore simple i wouldn't have anything to do... lol

This is genius!

I’m getting my new silnylon tarp next week and will try this solution. I think this looks nicer than the shock-cord tied to the guy line to create tension, but also there are more components to this.

You could just use a lark's head or toggle on the blue cord to attach it to the tarp tie-out point.

To stake your tarp close to the ground it looks like you’d need th make the continuous loop and the Evo Loop as short as possible.

if it's right at ground the stake can go through the main tie out

Another nice solution, Jeff. Can everything (guy line, continuous loop, evo loop) be made with 1.75mm/Zing It?

@jeffmyers7062

yes !

Do you think the button knot on the tarp would hold a larger diameter line (represented by the blue line) ? I love this idea, by the way . I use a shockcord loop with a 4’ guy line that has loops on each end. I have always used a found stick as a toggle between the shock cord and the guy line with a larkshead on the stake. But I like the simplicity your example better. I do wonder if a button will hold a larger diameter line since the larger line would need to “tuck” under the button to prevent it from rolling off the button. No real life situation imagined in regards to the question. Just curiosity. Thanks.mate.

you can add it any where really , a loop on the stake end between tie out and stake, a loop on the tarp corner between the corner and evo loop

I've tried several ways, but the one I like the best is to add a 10" loop of 1/8" cord to the end of the tie-out, and that loops around the stake. I just make the shock cord continuous loop with a fisherman's knot and then tie it onto the tie-out with a lark's head onto a loop tied at the end of the tie-out line. Hope that makes sense.

Replace the zingit button knot that Jeff has girth hitched to the corner hardware with a short loop of shock cord that has a diamond knot tied in the end. Leave everything else the same as above. (diamond knot instead of button since you can't splice the shock cord)

@@michaelmarziotto8105 Yep, that is what I am going to do. I have Warbonnet Sil-poly tarps. They need shock cord to keep them tight. I was using a line larks headed to the shock cord on the D rings. That line went to the stake, and pursiked back onto itself. I am good at tying pursiks, but this is so much better. ( Jeff is a bloody genius!) Cheers

I meant to thank you for this idea when you posted the video. So, thank you. It just came up in my KZread feed again on the TV. I didn't notice the stakes closely last time. What brand are those? I'd like the wider head.

Are you using a prusik or a girth hitch as the tension knot at the yellow cord to blue continuous loop? Looks like the connection is sliding easier than I would expect with a prusik..

@jeffmyers7062

it slides nicely , it has a girth hitch/one wrap prusic

Is your continuous loop an actual prusik or just a Lark's head to your tensioning line?
