As per the title, open to any suggestions - trying to build up a touring setup.

I've got some voile straps in various lengths, what do you think you need?

Apologies for being a vulture @freewheely_ , but I'd been keen to snap up any that you don't take. I am also trying to do the same thing!

@spj7 honestly I'm not sure exactly which length I need - enough to strap a small/medium tent and maybe a thermarest to the top of a rack.

I think that's it's for the time being as front rack is the loop type not flat/table

@nejib haha no worries mate, circle away 🦅

Hmm I think mine are all going to be a bit on the short side. I tried them around my tent (Zephyros Compact 2) and they don't quite get around it. I got them more for strapping things to cages.

I'd be up for a couple of those shorter straps if the above don't, so 3rd dibs @spj7

Ah fair, what size are yours, out of interest? I guess I'll look to get a couple bigger ones!

I'd recommend 25" or perhaps even 32".

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
