    Not that its a major problem.. But those pics you posted are ginormous.

    There is a free power tool from Microsoft, image resizer. Right click on a picture and you have 3 preset options to re-size or you can do custom. You can resize the original image or make a resized duplicate. Id find the link, but work computers are finicky.

    I have lots of ways of resizing images. Sorry!

    I'll add a little smallness next time.

    (What's that got to do with the OS?)

    Because its proprietary to MS. Im sure there are others, but this one is free and only a right click away.

    LIke I said.. no big deal. Just looking out for the dial-uppers. I was one for a long time.

    sure, dial-uppers, gotcha... that's why I use the thumbnails, instead of jamming the whole thing into a post. I'll resize as well.

    BTW, I resize fast and free with a non-M$ app.

    i guess one other advantage to the full ridge line is the ability to hook another prussic knot to a middle tie out on your tarp or even multiple middle tie outs which could help if you hae a square tarp vs a shaped one

    From the HF Glossary -

    Utility Constrictor Rope (UCR) - is a hardware-free hammock suspension method made by splicing one length of cording through another, thus creating an adjustable constriction. These are commonly DIY items made from 12-strand single-braid cording like Amsteel.
