Another great video, Shug! Here's a thought: I'm using the guidegear 12x12 tarp, pitched on the square. This tarp has a center tieout point. So if I staked it out like a Speer winter tarp, and tied a prussic to each end AND the middle ridgeline tieout, I'm thinking that I could actually reef the head end of the tarp out of the way for a more open view. In other words, slide the head end prussic towards the center, and the setup would be more "open". This would allow me to rapidly deploy the head end of the tarp in case of wind/rain.
Thoughts?

This may have already been mentioned, but I've been using a something similar to Tee Dee's reefing method only I use small loops of shock cord (think rubber band). About 5-6 for a tarp work nice. Simply Roll up the tarp and slide the shock cord loop in place. Repeat down the length of the tarp.
I also have been using the a very similar tarp ridge line setup running under the tarp instead of above. It's nice to have the line under the tarp to hang stuff. With RL under the tarp you can also tire your hammock up and out of the way if you are cooking or just need more space underneath.

MOST EXCELLENT SHUG!!!!! Thanks for the video clarification on this tarpish discussions that've been going around. Really slow down load over here on wireless connections ... but by gosh ... it can be viewed! Background music was great!
