    What kind of line on the Clark XL tarp tie-outs?

    Does anyone know what the name of the line is that Clark used for tie-outs on their XL tarps? It has body, holds knots very well, and is almost tangle proof. I love it but I don't know what kind of line it is. I definitely know it is not Zing-It or Lash-It. and I'm pretty sure it isn't Amsteel. Anyone know?

    I am not sure but the line I have been using from Warbonnet is much as you described. Stiff-ish and does not tangle much.

    Thanks Sir Shug! I really like that line for that application. I leave my tarp guylines attached to the tarp all the time. They are long enough that I can run the line around the stake and back up to the attachment on the tarp. That gives me a pulley situation for taughtness and I simply tie off with a slippery half hitch, with an extra half hitch over the loop if windy. Then when I am ready to pack the tarp I just take the guylines which are already doubled, lay them out straight along the first roll as I roll up the tarp to slide on the snakeskins and they never tangle. When I pull the snakeskins off to deploy, they just fall free, straight and ready to loop around the stakes. If too short on occasion, I just run them singly and tie at the stake or limb. I will place an order for that line; that definitely deserves a Whooo Buddy!!! Thanks again.
