I notice that some people use ridgeline guys that are 8 feet long each, while others use guys that are 9 feet long. What is the difference? Why not save a tiny bit of weight and go with shorter ridgeline guys?
Does this difference also apply to corner guys and side guys?
Thanks,
Dane
Jan 10, 2005 at 10:22 am #1335093i’m not sure what the lengths of my guylines are. i know the side ones on my tarp are pretty short. i’d guess 3 feet or so.
i don’t carry one long length of rope. i carry several short ones (4 feet or so). if i need to lengthen a guyline, make a clothes line or whatever, i just tie them together with quick release knots. takes a couple seconds each.
