    Tarp ridge line preference

    Over/under/ none? What is the general consensus here? I would imagine the most popular would be a ridgeline and under.

    Will there be extra wear if I just tie out from the ends with no ridge line?

    I like the CRL Over with snake skins and attached prussic knots attached. I tried all three and foubf I like this one the bes find it a very easy setup
    Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    It depends on what material.

    If it's a cuben tarp with a taped ridge seam, it's a good idea to use a full ridge line. But for Sil and Spinn, I prefer to just tie out from the ends.

    I prefer a CRL over the top with prusics at either end

    My Big Mamajamba is attached with soft shackle prussics to a single line tarp ridge line. The tarp is rigged under the ridge line. Rigging your tarp like this allows for a nice curve in the top of the tarp that follows the banana curve of the hammock. The tarp is stored in snake skins in a stuff sack.

    My The Edge is attached with soft shackle prussics to a 2 line tarp ridge line. This is my go light tarp and it is stored in a stuff sack.

    CRL over tarp with prussics on each end, attached with either a stick for a toggle or a small biner, and snake skins. I sometimes run a separate loose line under the tarp for hanging items.

    I have a Kelty 9, and I just installed a CRL using dynaglide. It goes under the tarp and attaches to the tarp via prussics attached to the ridge ties with a double fisherman's knot.
