Firstlight Sidewall Guylines

Firstlights are cool, but they suffer from being whipped around by strong winds and then losing much of their already tight interior space. I decided to take Alpacka Raft grab loops and SilNet them on to the sidewalls to create guyline attachments for pulling the walls out for more elbow room.

I'm thinking I might have to put a small bungee loop on the grab loop to relieve stress on the fabric.

I may have mounted the grab loops too high to get a horizontal pull from the stake/ski, but I'll see how it works in a couple months.

  1. Great idea Josh, I have a similar arrangement on my DuoMid sidewalls. I will be interested to see how this mod holds up.
