This is where I keep my ruck when it is wet. I used to tie it to a tree but sometimes they are wet and dirty and get the waistband and back wet. So check out my RuckHanger. http://youtu.be/14rOZX7nrxY

Remember LNT
I too hang mine from the suspension, I tend to use a trash bag and wrap my pack though. Keeps it dry and off the ground.
I purchased a small mesh hammock that hangs underneath me. It holds my pack and all of my gear off of the ground. I think it weighs around 3 oz.
I'd say it depends on the type of tarp you have at the size. I use a 12' x 10' BlackCat with DIY grizbeaks and I run a loose ridgeline underneath the tarp to hang light gear from (mostly the stuffsacks and toilet kit). I find that I can tuck my pack up underneath my head or feet (depending on the prevailing wind) and haven't had a problem getting things wet. If the weather's looking bad, I'd pack the bag up with all of the loose gear and put on the rain cover. In dry or slightly moist weather, you can get away with hanging it from a tree and again using the raincover.

In the hammock under my legs
In good weather I hang my ruck from the tree strap. Keeps it out of the animals reach. If raining it goes under the tarp. In a plastic bag if heavy rain. Seems to work well so far.
How much weight are you all hanging from the suspension? or end of the tarps?
