I just got the Dutch Edition single ridge line and have a question.
Do you undo the prusik and attach it directly to the tarp or do you run an s-Biner or something from the tarp to the prusik?

If its a SS prussick its meant to do away with or replace the need for a carabiner. Thats my take any way.
an s-biner is always an option. If you have a soft shackle and opt to go without, know that they can be a bit fiddley in gloves, or half frozen.
Or you could larkshead a piece of dowel into it and slide that into the D-ring or grommet on your tarp. A 1 1/2" piece of 3/8" dowel with the hole more offset to one end should work fine for you.

Using the soft shakle prusik as a quick disconnect for small diameter lines can be a bit too fiddley, especially for making frequent attachments. I use them on my guylines because they stay attached for the most part. On my crl, I also use soft shackles with a small biner like Dutches ridgeline biner, it's only 2gm. The convenience is well worth it for cold, wet, tired hands or a windy setup/teardown.

Thanks for the help folks. I think that I will use some kind of biner. The prusiks do seem like they would be a bit too fiddley if cold, wet, tired, in a hurry.
I will look into Dutches biner, but they look extremely small and I am not sure if the will clip onto the rings or whatever on my Superfly.
I haven't gotten the tarp or hammock yet. I am trying to get all of my ducks in a row and understand this new world of gizmos and gadgetry!
