I use NO hardware in my entire hammock and tarp setup....EXCEPT for linelocs at the tarp guy outs. They're just so easy and convenient. I use them often cos when I camp I tend to stay for several days, and adjust my tarp frequently - adding and removing porch mode, pitching in close, or out wider depending on the weather etc.
I also have tautline hitches semi-permanently tied at the stake ends. They provide an extra point of adjustability, especially in porch mode when I can't use the adjustability at the tarp end because the stick I'm using to lift the tarp is already too close to the tarp.
It's interesting how much variety there is in the simplest of things - hanging a tarp. I like to hear people's reasons for why they do it the way they do it.
HYOH for sure.
