McNett Tactical Gruntline

Active Junky Badass Gear Winner

This product scores well beyond what the under-$15 retail pricing suggests. When testers didn’t have enough paracord to secure a tent against Chilean winds, Gruntline silently assisted without giving up tent side-pull tension even when stretched to extremes in order to reach reliable anchoring points. The real thing, no doubt.

Because life is messy. Because the perfect tent anchor is still 6” away.  Because the wind kicks up.  Active Junky’s sold on an under-$20 wonder for front and backcountry use. Gruntline earned its weight (.06lbs) when pegging the Big Agnes Rattlesnake tent proved problematic on ancient Chilean lava flows; wrapped around a rock and clipped to itself was the perfect solution. Holding up to 20lbs and stretching to 7’, McNett Tactical’s practical genius includes several tie and clip options with integrated hardware. Testers only struggled to keep the snake-like Line coiled in packs at it wanted to escape confinement and get to work. Unleash it to replace bungees, paracord and webbing straps.
