Here is another thing you can do and I do it all the time. Measure the new tie point and write it down. I usually take a picture of my lodge on first set up when I have not done it for a while to see what I can change for next time. With these new digetal cameras you can print out the photo, write the dimention down to keep or change the next time anddddddddddd promptly put it in a safe place you will never think to look for again until that next time and have to start all over.
Seriously, I do have written down the dimensions for the tri-pods of all my tipis, so if I am not using my poles or something happens and I have to switch poles out, I have a good referance point to start with. I keep them on a laminated card in my wallet.
tipis. :p
