I'm not sure what to call the lines that go from the ends of the tarp to the trees; not really a ridgeline, but when i did a search here before posting this question and called it "tarp tie outs," what i got were posts about guy lines and stakes. Those were quite helpful and informative but didn't answer my question. And here it is...about whatever you call it. For those of you who use this method, how long are the lines on each end of the tarp, the ones that go to the trees? I know it depends somewhat on the size of the trees and on how far apart they are, but what's a good average starting point? My tarp (MacCat Deluxe) has a 10'10" ridgeline.
And a secondary question, what's your favorite method for securing the lines. I know there are a bunch of ways to skin that cat, but i'm interested to here what y'all have settled on.
Thanks!
