Tarp Ridgeline: Over or Under

[MuseJr]

I always go under. Never had rain issues as I use drip lines. To me, It seems to put less stress on the tarp to go under as you don't have to stretch the tarp so tight to keep it from sagging in the middle. Guess it's all about preference.

I agree about the stress and I don't like the sag in the morning when I use the tarp under the CRL, so I always run the ridge line under the tarp.

I use all variations, depending on my level of medication. HA! Seriously, all have advantages. Tying each end with its own line makes a nice "V" to pass my hammock support through without rubbing lines. I know you can do the same with CRL, but his is just one of the considerations I use. CRL's make it easy to center ( or off-center if that is what you want) the tarp. I like havinig options and they make set up fun.

I just tie each end to a tree with its own line. Requires no thinking, making it ideal for me.

add some tarp flyz to each end from dutch and there's nothing easier
