I get a few bits from these guys.

They have those line-locs at $1.50 for 4. Last time I ordered, Lawson only charged me £3 for dely from the states and they were here in a week.

They do some great bits of stuff, might be worth getting some goodies to spread the already cheap postage.

Heres another option. Adjustable from inside the tarp and shiny titanium.

Never thought of using tarp flys as tensioners, good idea :)

I also like the look of these prussik tensioners, Rik (from HF) uses:

And can be adjusted at the tarp end too. Not sure how well they'd work in freezing conditions though.

I reckon we could get enough interest to set up a group buy through Ace.

I'd do it myself but I don't want the complication of all those transactions going through my accounts.

I'm happy to get something going but it'll have to wait until mid June before I can pick it up

The Prusiks look good James, I've nearly put them on a few times but I don't think they are ideal for cold hands either and I do more hanging in the winter than summer. The tarp Prusiks can be a pain when they are locked up with ice, another 14 on top would get painful on the ol digits from what I've read on HF.
