Camping enthusiasts know that setting up a reliable tarp ridgeline is essential for protection against the elements. Onewind Outdoors’ Camping Tarp Ridgeline Mini Reel Cordage is a compact and efficient solution for securing tarps quickly and easily. Here, we answer some common questions about this essential piece of camping gear.
1. What is the Camping Tarp Ridgeline Mini Reel Cordage used for?
The Camping Tarp Ridgeline Mini Reel Cordage is designed to create a strong and adjustable ridgeline for setting up a tarp shelter. It provides a reliable and easy way to suspend your tarp between trees or anchor points, ensuring proper tension and stability.
2. What makes Onewind’s Mini Reel Cordage special?
Onewind’s Mini Reel Cordage is lightweight, compact, and comes with an easy-to-use reel that prevents tangles and allows for quick deployment and storage. The high-strength cordage ensures durability and resistance to outdoor conditions like wind, rain, and abrasion.
With three Prusik knots pre-set on the ridgeline and a 9-shaped guyline tensioner, you can say goodbye to complicated knots. No any knots needed in setting up your tarp.
3. How long is the cordage, and what material is it made of?
The ridgeline cordage length is 40ft/12m. It is made from high-strength materials like UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene), ensuring lightweight strength and resistance to stretching or fraying.
4. When the force is very strong, the Prusik knot will slide on the ridgeline. What should I do?
Ensure that these four loops are arranged side by side on the ridgeline, not stacked on top of each other.
The Prusik knot is wound around the ridgeline to form a fixed tension. When you receive the product, our Prusik knot is wound around the ridgeline four times. If you need more force, you can wrap it one more time.
5. Can I use this cordage for other camping purposes?
Yes! While primarily designed for tarp ridgelines, this cordage can also be used for securing gear, creating clotheslines, setting up makeshift shelters, and even emergency repairs in outdoor situations.
6. After using it for a while, the roller of the mini reel is not very smooth and sometimes gets stuck. What should I do?
Our mini reel box can be opened. Over time, dirt or debris may accumulate inside, causing the roller to stick. You can open the box and clean it to restore smooth operation.
7. Can I adjust or replace the guyline if it’s too long?
Absolutely! The guyline is 40ft/12m long. If you don’t need it that long, you can pull the rope out of the mini reel and trim the end. (For a neater look, avoid cutting the head with the ring.)
Replacing the guyline is also simple—just open the mini reel and swap in the rope of your choice.
8. Is it compatible with all types of tarps?
Yes, the Mini Reel Cordage works with most camping tarps, including those with grommets, loops, or tie-out points. It is highly versatile and adaptable to different setups.
9. Why should I choose Onewind’s Mini Reel Cordage over other options?
