Tree Straps or not?

[JaxHiker]

I believe one of the provisos for hammocks being allowed in Florida state parks was that the tarps need to be attached on webbing straps (they say the same ones as the hammock, but I guess separate webbing straps would be OK).

This. Outside of a FL state park I don't use straps for my tarp.

if your worried about your cordage from the tarp damaging the tree just use a couple trial sticks between the rope and the tree to disperse the force

boot

this is a great idea

pick up a flat dog leash and you have two tarp sized tree straps. 2 oz of good politics.

The parks I go to I don't worry about it but its certainly good for PR with your local park rangers and such.
