Good morning, Yall.
So I want to preface this with the fact that I have already accepted that I am likely doing something wrong.
A while back I ordered the Dutchware CRL with TATO trap connectors. I liked the idea of one line for everything and keeping it connected to the tarp (my HG Cuben Fiber Tarp with Doors). A problem arose with the tarp connectors not really fitting well through the smaller rings on the tarp. More of an inconvenience than an actual problem. In my haste to get something that works smoothly, I removed the tarp connectors and ordered a pair of soft shackles. The first time using it I had no noticeable issues.
Now, as I am prepping for a trip to Uwharrie in a couple days, I am finding that that Prusik knots slip really easily when I am tightening my tieouts. I can reduce tension easily enough, but I am worried that anything more than a breeze will make them slip.
I chose the green reflect-it for the RL and yellow Zing-it for the shackles. Should I have chosen different lines? What am I doing wrong?
In penance I offer the following dad joke:
Why do chicken coops have two doors? Because if there were four, they would be chicken sedans.
