Keeping up with ends & Zipper side?

[Tiki]

I thought about this same thing the first time I set up. I wound up clipping one of my carabiners from the end of the tree hugger through the triangular adjustment rings as well so I would know which end was which.

Now, if I can only remember if I did that on the head.. or foot end.

Some good ideas here.. I like the idea of the different colored cord-locks... and drawstring colors.

Red(string or sharpie mark whatever is handy) on the head!

On my HH tarp, I wrote H,F,R,L(with Sharpie) on each appropriate end or side pull out. That thing drove me crazy at first!

Sometimes I use an even easier technique: use a hammock with no head or foot! Like a JRB or Claytor No Net!

I picked up some colored cord locks, a red one for one end and another color for the other end. That way everything goes in the stuff sack and is easy, no mark or tape on any gear but still an easy cheap color code.

Where can you pick up a red cord lock that will fit the BB drawcord? Thanks!

Just a knot on the end of the line at the head end, and leave the last couple inches of line out of the bag each end
