I am fairly new to the hammocking scene, and I have an HH expedition. The only times I have ever used the hammock, I have naturally used the stock HH tarp (which, in rain and wind, didn't hold up too well). So, I just got a Speer 8x10 CatTarp in the mail yesterday. I set it up in the yard today,and quickly realized that attaching the tarp to the hammock ridgeline like the HH tarp does, does not work too well (tension in tarp without person in hammock vs. tension with someone hanging)...
What is the way you people set up your tarps? Do you tie them off to the trees until you get tension right, or do you use adjusters and hitches and all that fancy stuff? And is the goal to have the tarp as taught as possible? Any input would be appreciated.
