Okay, so I'm about ready to start sewing on my 12' tipi that I posted about not too long ago… http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=61375

Quick question, should I go with ladderlocs and nylon webbing for each of my 16 guy out points or linelocs and cord? I want to make some self tensioners which may be easier to do with the cord. However, I'm sure the webbing is stronger…

Looks like MLD uses linelocs.

I like linelocs a lot for smaller (solo or duo) shelters.

Not so sure about something the size of yours … it will catch a lot of wind.

Our scout troop owns two of the large GoLite square mids (10×10 ft) that use 8 webbing/ladderlock guyouts … that works well on those shelters.
