I hope this isn't a dumb question. I've read a lot of posts about this subject, but this part seems to be "glossed over". Just for safety sake, I would like to use the trap lines as stabilzers, but from what I've read, they say to "leave slack in the extension lines you tie from the trap line to the pylon" so you have enough slack to go all the way up. How much approximate slack do you need to leave? I tried it a couple of times, and both times got hung up by not enough slack. If I let them out much more, they won't help stop the mast from swinging off to the side anyway. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
