    Thumbs up Amazing coincidence!!!

    I was just going online looking for a sample of how to setup my tarp ridgeline when I see this posting as the first in the forum thread. Thank you so much. Now I have to figure out how to attach the tarp to the ridgeline. I guess you use a couple of the knots that slide with the loops? Will be looking for more helpful videos.

    I am running this setup and it works really well. To attach the tarp to the ridgeline if you order 2 extra dutch hooks you can use those and make a loop of cord prussic-ed to the ridgeline. There should be a video on dutch's website that shows the entire setup. I highly recommend it.

    Thanks for the positive comment.
    - I use soft shackles to attach the tarp to the ridge line. Mine are DIY and attached them to ridge line with prussic and then open the shackle and attache to tarp.
    - I used Zing It and the soft shackles work great. But, you can do the same basic set up without splicing by using a double fishermens knots to attach tarp.
    - Here is a link to Opie's site that sells soft shackles, but they are too thick to use with prussics on Zing It. I just wanted to show you what soft shackles look like. http://shop.whoopieslings.com/Soft-Shackle-SS.htm

    Excellent idea of hooking the Dutch hook to a prusik. I had issues on my last hike with aligning my tarp and hammock because of the asymetrical attachement of the plain Dutch hook to the zing-it. I will be adding a prusik to my ridge line which will eliminate my problem. Great idea and THANKS for sharing. That is the great thing with this forum, so many smart and talented folks sharing ideas.
