Hi, I'm getting ready to attempt a hike on the AT in a few weeks and want to fine tune the setup for this tarp. Any suggestions would be very appreciated, thanks.
For my ridge ties, currently I have two Dutch Stingerz separately spliced onto 30 feet of lash it.

The first conundrum is how short should I cut these, because it's tooooooo long. I have a WBBB XLC with whoopie slings, and I suppose the maximum length that could support, would be a barometer with which to gauge....no?
Secondly, can one of you recommend the exact length for the four tie outs to the doors, as well as the side tie outs and finally the doors? I'll have my treking poles with me, and I guess I can use the poles to pull out those sides. I was told by someone to use prussic knots on the tie outs to cinge it tight.
Look I'm pretty lost here. Is there a thread on here or somewhere else that has all this stuff covered? I apologise if this sounds really dumb or whatever, if so I'll delete it. Have a great weekend everybody.
