Late introduction of the Tarp Ridgeline

**opie** · 02-02-2010, 20:48

Ok... I got an order here so thought Id take the chance for a detailed picture....

The grey prusiks are for the tarps D- rings.

The lone toggle in the line is for attachment to your first point. Wrap the line around your tree and toggle the loop. You'll see a bead built into this fixed eye. I needed to find a way to prevent the toggle from coming off the line. I thought about tying a stopper knot in the line... But for a couple reasons decided against it. So the bead was the natural choice. Its weight addition is negligible and it prevents the toggle from coming off the end.

Just ordered the ridgeline w/ toggles. Looks awesome. I can't imagine a simpler way to run a knot-less ridgeline.

Now I need to save my pennies for a BWD 3-season hex and some grizz beaks.

Current tarp is a beastly 14x12 chinook tarp that uses grommets at the ridgeline instead of webbing/d-rings. what would be the best method for attaching the ridgeline to the grommets?

Ya'll have a tremendous vacation.

Opie a question on the toggles.

It looks like the toggles are drilled off center. Wouldn't they work better, i.e., catch the D-ring better, if drilled on center?
