        These work great in securing the rainfly with odd tie-off points.

          Comments about Nite Ize Figure 9 Carabiner Rope Tightener with 3.5mm Cord - Package of 2:

          I bought these for the versatility and convenience. I figure I can secure food and some gear from bears, lash things to trees, tie down extra gear to my pack or to tie a rain flap down in case something breaks.

          The commenter above is correct in that this is no substitution for learning proper knot tying, but there are plenty of reasons to use this equipment.

            These weigh virtually nothing, and work like a champ. While as an experienced mountaineer and sailor I DO know a tone of knots, there is nothing easier than throwing one of these on a line to quickly secure a bear line or any other tension line in camp. I also use them to secure my tarp on my trailer when "covering my load".

              While the Nite Ize Figure 9 Carabiner Rope Tightener does what it purports to do, it's a completely unneccesary piece of equipment. Seriously. Take a few minutes and learn a few basic knots. A tautline hitch will do exactly the same thing and it weighs nothing and costs nothing. Also, you can tie a tautline hitch anywhere, anytime w/o the assistance of high-tech gear. Besides, excess use of this carabiner wears on your rope. I wouldn't hesitate to spend money (even big money, at times) on gear that makes my life in the woods easier. But there is no substitute for having basic skills.
