    Default Tip Maybe? Carabiners and my TT Rainbow

    One thing I did do that I thought was pretty nifty was buy 6 very lightweight carabiners
    from the guy that who makes cuban stuffsacks and attached them to the loops on my tent stakes and then clipped the carabiners to the tieout rings on the Rainbow corners and the vestibule and opposite side tieouts.

    I was a bit worried about the rings slipping off the tent stakes and this solved the worry pretty well.

    Don't know if that's ever crossed anyone elses mind but I thought I'd throw it out there.

    Next up is to tie some string to the zipper pulls that disappear when you unzip something all the way.

    Tent stake are meant to be pushed in at 45 degree (or thereabout) away from the tent.
    little chance of those rings slipping off unless you use the shepherd hook type and they turn on you.
