I bought a zpacks DCF 8.5x10 tarp to replace a heavier shelter, for certain hunts and hikes.
I am curious what type of lines and stakes you use, realizing varies based on the location and style of the pitch.
Stakes - I have been a fan of MSR groundhogs and mini ground hogs and have played with others with less success. What else do you like and how many do you carry?
Lines - I had typically used 550 cord for guylines but have been looking for a lighter, less stretchy option. What do you use? How long and how many lines do you typically carry?
The zpacks tarp has a total of 16 tie outs. I am thinking about 2x15' of 3mm cord for the two ridge ends and another 6-8 smaller diameter cords for the perimeter and tie outs. I think 8-10 stakes should be enough.
