    How to straighten out a micro binner

    Last week I set up my hammock in the back yard to do some testing but the test got cut short as a storm front blew thru with near hurricane force winds. I was able to take down my hammock before the winds hit but had to leave the tarp up as I had no desire to go back out in the winds and rain. Luckily the tarp survived even though the tarp ridge line appeared to have broken at some point during the storm.

    A couple of days ago I went back out to finish my test and while cleaning up I found the remains of the micro binner from the tarp ridge line.

    Here is a picture of the binner:

    While these binners are tuff, this little binner met its match in mother nature.

    My yard is stilled covered with downed tree limbs that I have not picked up yet.
