    How do you put on snake skins?

    I just bought some snake skins but I can't seem to figure out how to install them on my tarp. Help please.

    Not that I have any or anything like that, but don't you just pass the ridgeline through them? And they just sit on the line scrunched up when the tarp is deployed?

    If i'm way off, please feel free to call me stupid.

    The HH Snake Skins are tubular and conical. You leave one on each end of the suspension line, small side towards the trees. When you are ready to pack up: pull your guylines out and start sliding one skin down towards the middle, scruntching up the tarp with lines as you go. The first one goes a little past the mid-point, and the other overlaps it. Very slick.

    To deploy, just attach the tarp ridge lines to the trees, slide back the skins, and stake out the fly.
    Not all who wander are lost.

    Thanks that did help. But on the small ends there's a small loop/tab, how does that attach to the ridge line?
