  • This is the way I do almost all of my guylines on all of my backpacking shelters. Its just too easy not to use. It doesn't require extra hardware or difficult knots. Its the lazy but effective way to stake out your camping shelter.

      It is really easy. At least to me. As long as tension is held on the knot, it will stay put. Thanks a lot for watching!

    Thanks for this video. About to put two more guylines on the extra tie outs on my gatewood cape for the extra head/foot room. Leaving in a day or two for a three month stay in Cimarron…

    Love it . Not knots to untie. Great stuff. I can put my guide on one end. Then go thu the tent and use that for my peg. Loves it. Thanks was looking for simple and I got it. Always better when it's simplest it can be.

    Love the coors cohosting the video with you! I definitely see the appeal of a system like this: quick, easy, and effective.
    If you get some tarp sag, I can see it being pretty easy to redo as well.

    Nice and simple! But I prefer using the marlin spike for that. You can tie it with one hand and I think it's a tat faster too 🙂

    Thanks Cameron. What is the knot you use to attach the guyline to the tent/tarp? When packing up and storing, do you keep the guylines attached to either the tent/tarp or the stake?

    • @CameronHall88
      @CameronHall88  3 роки тому

      I almost always leave my guylines attached. (Only time I'd take them off is maybe on a poncho tarp if I was using it as a poncho for an extended period) I never have much problem with them being tangled. I attach the guylines to my tarp either by a larkshead (same knot as on the video), or I tie a bowline in the end of the line and then larkshead that loop onto my tarp. Either way, they're easy to remove.

    Easy and simple = Lazy. Only a Guadalupe Mountains backpacker would see a need for multiple guy lines and stakes. Good to see you are not an IPA fan.
