So my last trip it was raining when we broke camp. When I got home I strung up a CRL in my garage and spent a day or two hanging everything I took along and drying it, including both tarps I brought (I lent one), and the guy lines that are attached, etc.
Turns out that I forgot to take care of the small ziplock baggy that I keep my main tarp ridgelines (zing-it with dutch stingerz) and all the spare guy lines. As soon as I picked up the baggy, I could smell the mildew.
Right now I've got them all soaking in a jar with more water and a touch of bleach. Has anyone dealt with moldy/mildewy lines before? Is there a way to mitigate it without having to just remake them all? I made all of those, and I have more zing-it and can just cut the stingerz off and start fresh, but that's 6 tarp lines that I'd rather not have to re-do if I can help it.
Any suggestions?
