LBO w/ 3 pc vestibule

I got my LBO. I'm 6'2'' and I love the interior space. I can lie down and have neither the head nor the foot end of my sleeping bag touching the fabric. This is great!

Question: there are 3 line-locs near the peak of the tent. One at the end of the beak to guy the beak out. One near the peak and one at the top of the vestibule. What are those last two for? :?:

Thanks!

I believe you have two options. Using some cordage you can use the vestibule one and the one at the peak to tighten up any slack in the vestibule. I asked Kevin the same question and he said he rarely does it because he likes to open the zipper for venting from the top and you can't do that when attached via the line locs. Overall in my experience it doesnt strike me as super important but it does reduce a little curve in the bottom of the vestibule. If I was expecting a legitimate snow load I would attach them to get rid of that curve and shed the snow better.

The other use is using the one in the peak to raise the nest, although I prefer just tying the nest off to the pole.
