This is a discussion about how to create tie out points on a tarp that lacks tie outs, only has grommets, or that has been damaged. I discuss options such as tarp clips, but focus on how to create a tie out button. I pre-tie and keep a specific knot set in my gear to be able to rapidly overcome things like damaged grommets or torn tie outs and I show you how to tie what I call "The Button Set". This is a good bushcraft or camping knot set as it is mostly appropriate for tarp shelter.
My favorite online resource for learning how to tie different knots is 'Animated Knots by Grog" http://www.animatedknots.com/
