The Gear Aid Taut Line Kit is an all - in - one outdoor essential. It comes with a 50 - foot long, heavy - duty, reflective 550 Paracord made of 100% nylon. This paracord is not only strong but also highly useful, with 7 inner strands that can be pulled apart and used as fishing line or thread. The kit also includes 4 innovative line tensioners made of aluminum metal. Say goodbye to sagging clotheslines! Whether you're drying towels, hanging gear, suspending lights, or even hanging a bear bag, this heavy - duty paracord is up for the challenge. It's long enough for various outdoor needs and packs well for travel, making it perfect for hiking and backpacking trips. With the line tensioners that have numbered slots, all you need is a simple figure 8 knot to hang your gear without any drooping. It's also compatible with the Camp Carabiner, allowing you to hang gear at camp with just a simple twist and turn. Remember, this kit is not for climbing.
Using the Gear Aid Taut Line Kit is a breeze. First, find two stable points where you want to set up your camp line, like trees. Then, tie one end of the 50 - foot paracord to one of the points. Next, thread the other end through the line tensioners. Use the numbered slots on the tensioners and tie a simple figure 8 knot to keep the line tight. You can now hang your towels, boots, water filters, or even a bear bag on the line. If you need a fishing line or thread, just pull apart the 7 inner strands of the paracord. When using the Camp Carabiner, simply twist and turn it to hang your gear. As for maintenance, after each use, make sure to dry the paracord and tensioners thoroughly to prevent rusting of the aluminum tensioners and mildew on the nylon paracord. Store the kit in a cool, dry place. And always remember, this kit is not for climbing, so never use it for that purpose.
