I have seen a lot of discussion about the rope halo approach, and even what knots to use, but virtually no guidance on what kind of rope would actually be best for this purpose.
I'm considering going with paracord, though I've also seen some indications it might not hold up as well at Burning Man. I definitely need something that can hold a yurt down during a dust storm... Since I'm transporting the yurt on top of my car, I will have ratchet straps available for use, and some people swear by these. But even if I use those for the tie-downs, I still need something to construct the rope halo itself. For the record, I am using a standard H12 hexayurt. The door is basically a hatch that opens vertically, so I was considering only using 4 tie down points to avoid blocking the door. If this would be inadvisable, let me know.
