Non-Continuous Ridgeline

[jellyfish]

A continuous ridgeline is really like a topline or a highline. An aloft line or a tightrope. Tautline, running line...

With prussics or ucr, the tarp is traveling.

Traveling line.

How about TSL= tarp suspension line / TSSL= tarp split suspension line ?

Yes, I think suspension is the key term here as the line, whether continuous or not, serves to suspend the tarp.

I honestly can't tell if that pun was intentional or not.

Tautology made me laugh out loud. :-)

I am not a fan of the CRL neither the real contionus figure 8 or the static that connects to two trees and uses prusiks or similar tension hardware. I use individual lines on each end consisting of a Dutch Hookworm threaded on the line, secured at one end with a figure eight knot and the other end spliced with a dutch hook that goes around the tree and connects to the line. The Dutch Hookworm is hooked on to a TI split ring on my Tarps ridgeline tie out and snugged tight to my desired position and tensioned suffecently and secured with a half hitch on the worm. There is a little trick to keeping it tight but it is as easy as running the extra line between the tensioned line and the worm to create a little gap to secure the half hitch. To release my tarp I just pull the line and unhook. I like this method cause I don't have to worry about slipping or if the tarp will fit on to the line or not, It is easy to swap out other tarps and use the same lines. So I guess you can call them what ever I just call them my Tarp Ridge Lines. or TRL's
Note Tarp tieout lines are for anchoring my tarp to the ground and my system is similar, I use Tarpworms and the bowline that the Ti stake goes through. The Tarp worms are on a shotcord loop and the line is Dutchwire and it is also ran through the Tarpworm and secured with a knot.

NB Tarp tieout lines are for anchoring my tarp to the ground

Is that what you call guylines then?
Is that common?

I use tarp worms as well, but not on the ridge line. One shortcoming with the tarp worm in ridge line application is the in order to get adequate tension it will be difficult to get the wrap around the worm. I am a CRL fan thus far.

That said, I would like to better understand what you are doing with the second line to create the gap. I am using the worms in another application and what you're describing might prove useful. Can you take a picture or explain what you're doing?

[ecologito]

If the ones going to the ground are tieouts, could the non continuous ridge line be called the tieups? :P

[GadgetUK437]

Curious... am I the only one that calls them guylines?
(the ones going to the stakes, I mean)
