    Can I attach the stock tarp too a web suspension

    Hello everyone.

    I bought the JRB tri-glides and want to put them on my HH, but how will i attach stock tarp. Would a prusik knot work on webbing? I know i could hook it up the the trees. Just wanted to know if there was a slick way of hooking it to the webbing.

    Yes, a prussik will work fine on the webbing. It may 'roll' the webbing inside the cord, but that's no problem.

    Tying the tarp directly to the tree will produce a better result, but you already know that.
