Abstract: This cord tensioning device allows for the easy attachment of an item needing to be secured, such as a tent or tarp to various types of anchor points without the ability to tie knots. The device includes: a body portion having a major surface said body portion having a distal section and a proximal section; at least two openings dimensioned to receive a cord, one of said openings located in the proximity the proximal section and the other of said openings located in proximity of the distal section. The proximal section further includes a head section and two arm sections and a slot between each of the head and arm sections. The slots are sized to be smaller than the interior shoulder portion and will frictionally hold a cord within the slot.
