The Wasps are great but you don't need the Prusiks (note spelling...) The Wasps are designed to be adjustable along the line all by themselves without the Prusiks.Originally Posted by chansta
You could also consider the Flyz as cougarmeat mentioned. Wasps are much more suited to a single ridge line. There are vids on Dutch's website that explain both pieces of hardware.

I used to pain-stakingly fig 8 all of my ground lines to avoid tangling. Switched to snake skin a few years and never regretted it.
Keeping the split ridge lines and all ground lines attached to each tarp, I simply collect them at one end of the tarp and lay them on the tarp as the the snake skin slides on, then same at the other end. Makes for quick deployment. I use the AutumnUltraLight button style at the tree end of each split RL so it takes but a second to connect at the tree, and mini ucrs at the tarp end to allow for positioning and tentioning. Then as the skin slides off, the lines fall out untangled. If it is really windy half of the tarp can be exposed from the skin and staked, then other half. I've pitched so many times, all kinds of weather and pondered how I could improve it.. Can't think of a way at this point. Tarp can up in a minute or three.

No matter. Knot works the same no matter how one spells it or pronounces it.

My knot told me that it would refuse to work until I pronounced its name correctly. But my cordage is generally pretty sassy!

No matter. I still hate them.
