Illustration - Rigging A Tarp w/Continuous Ridge WITH HARDWARE!

[hangNyak]

I used the method in the original post for about a year and liked it.

Then it dawned on me that I could cut out the line under the tarp and make both ends look like the left side in the illustration, just a simple Dutch hook on each end.

The tarp stays permanently on the TWO ridglelines with Klemheist loops. I adjust the tarp by sliding the two Klemheist loops and don't have to worry about a 3rd adjustment at the second tree.

I use two 9' sections of line with a stopper knot on the ends to keep teh Klemheist loops from slipping off.

This is now the simplest tarp suspension I have ever set up.

I too have been playing around with the seperate lines at each end. This video turned me on to it.

The nice thing is it uses no hardware. Mike, I think I have an idea what you're talking about, but do you have a pic to clarify?
