@Ninjak3k Just used them in a huge rain storm on this past Wednesday and high winds on Thursday night. They worked perfectly! I think you'll enjoy them.
Very cool application of the KnotBone - clever. I worked for NiteIze on this project. I'm the guy who created the KnotBone PDFs you can download from the NiteIze website.
I would be courious to get your feedback on the PDF for 'Tent & Tarp Aplications'. The application you decribe in the video would be a great addition the this PDF.
@rxsr01 Actually I've downloaded all the PDF's you folks have on it. If you'd like to add the application I describe .. feel free to use it. Also you can link or use the video it that would help you folks out. Great little tool you have there. We also use them on tarp ridge lines as well for Hammock Camping. Sorry to keep calling it a dog bone ... that's what it reminds me of!
@RallohE It looks just like one of those dog treat biscuits so I get what you're saying :-) Thanks for the idea - I am interested in using the tensioning concept.
Another way to do this is to use a length of shock cord and two KnotBones (a KnotBone can accommodate 3/16" shock cord) . Wrap-n-Lock a KnotBone to each end of the shock cord and then wrap-n-lock the stretched assembly anywhere along the length of the guyline.
Could also use 1/8" cord and the centerbores of the KnotB
just picked up some knot bones and made up a few for mu OGEE. Iike the idea very simple and light plus you could just leave it attach to the trap for packing.
@MrBabelfish5 Well thank you sir ... I appreciate it. Give these little guys a try ... I bet you'll love them. Not to mention they're just plain fun to play with!
Good little device!
And here's another method to tension a hammock: threaten it with your knife - works rarely or never, but needs no extra stuff to carry along.

@steintanz With my luck the tarp would pull it's own knife on me! YIKES!

Really, really like this idea! I think it's my favorite tarp tensioner method I've seen yet. Just ordered the Knot Bones I need for my tarp.

hmmm....i think i like it better then the silicon tensioner lines.
and i'll have some extra knotbones since i'll only need 1 for each of my ridge lines.

@gcstorm1 Kinda how I felt about them when I was first playing around with them. Work well, simple and very light weight.
