Easy tree straps with clips for tarp hanging.

[CamoDeafie82]

How do you compensate for different sized trees?

by adjusting the length of the tarp line? (same idea as a tree strap for hammock really...)

EDIT: this is for a crosgrain type of webbing. For other types with hardware/buckles, I personally would have 10 feet straps with buckles, and then use that to adjust for length between trees if I don't want to deal with adjusting the tarp lines....basically a V strap kind of thing wrapping around the trunk.

sew a D ring on one end, and a loop on the other end, and thread it like a Larkshead onto the tree, and attach a line to the D ring then to the Tarp, probably something like a Tautline Hitch sort of thing, or a Truckers hitch...

or substitute D-ring for a hook sort of thing.

Or a D-ring and velcro. Run the end of the webbing through the D-ring, then back on itself to stick the velcro halves together. Clip tarp line on to the D-ring.

I like this because it really protects the bark of the trees. Thanks, Theosus!

Okay so I've pretty much decided to eliminate the snap hook, and tie on a tarp flyz style hook so I can do a quick pull-and-wrap knot. I've got a couple of old washers the right thickness and I'm cutting them with a dremel and grinder to make my own version of dutch's tarp flyz that I'll fix to the tree strap permanently.

This DIY stuff is fun.

I'm making my own tarp flyz style hooks to replace those plastic clips. The shape is done, they just need some smoothing with sandpaper so they don't cut the rope. They work great with 330 para cord. Have them a test in the house already

Interesting idea. Not sure if trust my good nights sleep to that plastic buckle. Also, I like to have my tarp pitched higher than my suspension....my two cents.

He uses that for the tarp, not the hammock. I can't see what your problme is with it.
