    Where to properly hang the tarp?

    I look at some pics here on HF, and I see tarps that look like they are slung around the tree by straps...and possibly have their own suspension/guy line.....but , I have mine attached to my hammock suspension. There is a little hook on my HH that I am using.....is this right?

    Most people don't use straps on their tarp since it's not load bearing. Many Hennessy users hang their tarp separately since it tends to sag when you get into the hammock.

    Yes, I had some sagging, but nothing intolerable.

    thanks Inaniac99, I took a look at those links and they make great sense.
