the prussik has never failed for me... and a lot of hangers here ( heck, the prussik adjustment is not my idea ) use it on their lines--- plenty of tutorials on setting up the lines in this fashion. here's where i learned:

thanks for the words here. greatly appreciated,,, but yes,,, the prussik adjustment developed here by great minds has expedited and created an ease in adjustment that can't be beat. * a side note on the ridge---that setup may change to an almost more preferred method, which consists of:
well, the same as the tarp corner tieouts- a prussik at the ridge tie, and a dutch hook at the tree= even easier! if you can imagine that! enjoy your testing

anyways... i'm loving the blue cuben, and couldn't be more content with the build and design. this one is not going on the for sale boards!

Happy Hanging.

Joe is up there with my absolute favorite vendors. He has ALWAYS been a pleasure to work with, willing to go the extra mile for customer satisfaction, and on top of things.

Thanks, Rip, for the big dose of cuben tarp envy!

Yours is an excellent presentation of what I would consider to be the ultimate cuben tarp design. A perfect set of features.
Thanks for taking the time to do such an excellent video.
