[pct-l] Tarps + tarptent = Duomid

[Steve McAllister]

Am I jabbering too much?

A couple knots that I find useful for pitching shelters:
1) Mooring hitch - Allows for quick easy tear down in the AM. Some use
the Ray Jardine method of a slip clove hitch(or what ever it is
called) for this reason.

2) Taught Line Hitch(and it's variations) - comes in handy when the
tension may need to be readjusted. E.G silnyon and other materials
tend to stretch a little shortly after being pitched so being able to
tighten before going to bed is nice. .

> 2) Can you tie a knot?
>    a) You may consider the Bowline, the Trucker's Hitch, Figure Eight
> on a Bight and the Half Hitch as essential.  The Clove Hitch, the Square
> Knot and the Fisherman's Knot would also be useful.
