Here's the plan: I'd secure one end to a tree with a simple evenk (Siberian) hitch, and the other end with a tarp-taut hitch. Along the length I'd place two marlin spike hitches which would act as stopper knots for a pair of carabiners which I'd then clip my hammock to.

I haven't tested this idea yet, and I'd like some feedback before I go off and trust my weight to it.
