Tie loops are designed for 1/8" (3mm) cordage, including most 550 paracord as well as the 1.4mm cord provided with the GearPods Shelter kit and Shelter Pro multi-kit system.

Has anyone tried to get the tarp back in the package and the Large tube after use? Is it tough to do? Is the tarp big enough? I am 6'1" is a 6'5" x 4'5" tarp going to cover me? Thanks.

I didn't have any real trouble getting the tarp back into it's pod, but that was without the space blanket (those things are basically disposable once you've used them anyway) - with the blanket it would be a bit more effort, but still doable I'd imagine (as long as it was still compressed in it's little bag). I'm 5'10" and the tarp was the perfect size for me in the standard lean-to config - I posted a photo a while back to the GearPods Facebook wall if you want to get an idea of the scale relative to me - http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7398836&l=dfbb71c2ce&...
