Friction Knots:

SLIDE when there is NO WEIGHT on them
And
GRIP when there is a LOAD on them.

That being said, the beauty of this one is you can slide it along your guyline, and tighten or firm up your tarp in seconds.

You can even slide your tarp and shift the position of the entire thing if it's all anchored by these knots.

Thanks everyone, hope you enjoyed!
