    Thumbs up VIDEO: "Over The Tarp" Ridgeline Set Up

    A tarp video for all you Tarpsters......
    While on the Linville Gorge Hammock Hang I got to see a couple of "over the tarp ridgeline" set-ups inspired by Tee-Dee.
    As a dinker ..I was curious as to the point..... it seems that the tarp is easily adjusted back and forth on the over-ridgeline and is simple to center over your hammock. Cool.

    On this video I have sped up runs of taking it down and putting it up with snake-skins (tubes of fabric that the tarp slips into making an easy to control package) and trying out Tee-Dee's "reefing" idea. Using the principles that sailors use on their sails........
    Both options work and you can see that.
    Using my new Speer Winter Tarp on this video....
    Got this tarp after eyeballing it on a couple of trips with fellow hammockers. Great tarp .. light and the price is excellent for a lot of coverage and set-up options.
    I will do a video of this tarp in more detail soon!

    As always .... thanks for your time watching. Remember ... I am no expert .... I just go out and do it and learn from my triumphs and failures. Whoooooo Buddy! Get me to the piney woods!
