Looking to change out the cord on my echo inner net for all the points where it attaches to the tarp. I know Dan Durston has done a bunch of testing with this but what would be the issue with using 2mm guy line instead of all the shock cord? This would still work with the line loc 3s and would be lighter. Thoughts?

So I ordered some 3/8″ shock cord to replace the stock 1/8″ cord and contrary to Dan Durston’s findings, it slips badly in LineLoc 3s. I’m not just replacing the stock inner net lines to save weight, I have to replace them as I need more length. I’m using a MYOG flat tarp, not the Echo tarp, so my tarp has way more distance between it and the net thus I need longer lines. I’m really wondering why shock cord here and if guy lines would have any ill effect since they don’t stretch. Anyone?
