    DD Frontline Hammock

    I used my new hammock for the first time last night and was sort of stumped on where to tie the elastic lines that suspend my bug net. Well in the end I ties them through the loops on the end of my tarp but it didn't look right and thought it may rip the loops. I thought of just tying them the the tree also but then I was worried if it rained I would have water dripping in as I have the twin carabiner set up for my hammock. It was one step forward and two steps back. I would tie it to the ridge-line but I run mine over the top as I've been told it stops rain running down the ridge-line and under the tarp.

    You can add a prussic of cotton lace or similar for an adjustable drip line, make sure it is under the tarp but still past the ends of the hammock though. You could still tie to the tarp ridgeline, past the ends of the tarp?

    When I had a Frontline I tied my bug net up to the tarp ridge line that was running under the tarp. I used lightweight shock cord to tie it up so there was some give to it when I weighted down the hammock and for the swinging motion. I used a taut line hitch at the ridge line so it could be adjusted in or out as desired.
    If you run your ridge line over the tarp instead of under connecting to the ends of the tarp should work fine.
