    Setting up

    Ok it is the first time setting up without just using slap straps and net.

    Just got the Noah I like it just need to space my trees out more.

    Made 8 ft straps from the bull line ( mule tape )

    Still waiting for the Amsteel to get here for my slings.

    Made impromptu ridgeline to see how it worked.

    Was going to put up bug net, and try to put up the poncho liner for an under
    quilt, but it is warm and sticky in SC today, I'm packing it up and going to the river.

    Look at the picture and pick it apart so I know what I'm doing wrong.

    Looks good! Have you tried setting it up the tarp in non diamond fly configuration? That'll give you a shorter ridgeline and make it easier for trees closer together. Right now you have a 16 foot tarp ridgeline.
