tarp attachment point gizmo

Ah.... I see.

Should be OK on the edges though?

Yes, I would say they would be ok on the reinforced edges where its double layered!
Just not on the main material.

You can get them for HK$4 each in the market here, but they really need a good seam or a cord reinforced edge to grip.

It's kit mending time of year again, and I had a tarp to fix, so I thought I'd bump this post.

The loop for the guy line on my tatonka broke in high winds the last time I was out camping.

So I sent off for a "holdon midi" clip (they do a mini size too), same as Spikey linked to

You can see it is the same sort of mechanism as Hoodoo's home-made version in the post above.

Very, very easy to use. Job done:
