I have about a dozen of those figure 9 rope tighteners in 4 sizes. They are great for camp or hammock use. Much faster than any knot you could tie. Anyone in your group can use them. No knot knowledge needed, that's why they are good. Personally I know many knots but these things rock.

I have a bunch as well and they really are slick. I know enough knots to get by (by no means a connoisseur) but those figure 9's are just so easy and convenient to use.

nice i like the small biners, this year i will do with a separate tarp line, they look small enough and strong enough to do the trick with my homemade prusiks. i just ordered 2 titanium biners for my tarp ridgeline, for use with my prusiks, now i think i am all set.

yeah, right....you're all set...
Do you have your down pillow with the lanyard so it doesn't slip down?
Do you have your air pillow for under your knees?
Do you have your cuben equipment hammock/pack cover?
How about a nice titanium stove?
How about a nicer, lighter titanium stove?

I have several of their items. They are quit innovative. I have the carabineer figure 9 that I use for my tarp ridge line. I also have the metal key rack and several of the metal S biners. I have the reflective line but have not used it yet. Still trying to decide how and where I want to attach it to my tarp.

quote toddhunter: "What sizes are needed for suspension, tarp, stakeouts whatever?"
th - the small stuff like the tarpflyz and dutch hook are for the tarp. I believe the dutch clip, the dutch biner, and the dutch buckle can be used for hammock suspension. The whoopie hook is new and its rated at 1000 pounds. I guess it is supposed to be used on your suspension.
