    The Trucker’s Hitch is one of the easiest methods to tension guy lines. Set up as illustrated above. Create the upper loop by using an overhand on a bight or a slip knot. Tie off with a looped half hitch which is easy to untie and adjust.

  • Tent Tip

    On snow or rocky ground set tent stakes “deadman” style. Tie into the center of the stake then bury it horizontally in snow or under rocks. The line and stake together should make a “T”. Be sure to bury the stake several feet deep or the stakes will melt out! When using rocks, be sure to use enough to handle the strongest winds you expect to encounter.
