I'm going to pull the trigger on a SLD Winter Haven and I'm going through the options... For the tie outs you can order LineLocs, D-Rings, or nothing (just the webbing). I'm looking for some input as I'm not sure which way to go here...
I'm not really interested in the LineLocs. On my current tarp I have small loops of shock cord attached to plastic D rings on the tarp. I like this as it gives some flex and is easy to set up (I use a taught line hitch to adjust).
My concern with the D-Rings would be that they are plastic (I'm assuming) and I camp in some very cold weather (-35 Celsius) so I'm concerned about them snapping in the cold.
Is there any issue with not using a D-Ring or LineLoc and just attaching a loop of shock cord to the webbing of the tarp, and attaching my line to that? I'm kind of leaning to this way based on how I plan on setting it up....
Thanks!
