Will this work for guy lines?

[Scoutmaster1056]

Has anyone used this line for their tarp? If you have, how did it work?I will be using lash-it for the CRL but maybe this line for the guy lines.

Looks to be 100 lbs. test. They don't say what it's made out of so it might stretch when wet if it's nylon. Probably not spliceable.

Yep, I started using the same stuff but the non-reflective type. It's stiff enough it holds knots well but is still easy to untie. It's small, light, pretty cheap and 100lb test is plenty. I'm of the opinion I'd rather the line let go than tear a corner off my tarp.

Agree. Been using Atwood for years with no issues at all. Fits beautifully through the holes in Dutch fleas snd works with the Dutch wasp. When I (rarely) use a CRL, I use the Kevlar version: http://atwoodrope.com/collections/kevlar-aramid rated at 200 lb. for the ridge then either glow-in-the-dark or reflective micro cord for the corners. I typically use the glow in the dark line for the tie-outs that I might encounter on a midnight relief run. No headlamp required to see them. SilvrSurfr is correct, it's not spliceable, but prussik knots hold really well.The regular stuff melts like nylon, but stretch hasn't been a big problem.
