    Split ridge lines on both my Standard and palace. Gave up on continuous ridge line ages ago.
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    I do both several different ways; you can always run a continuous outside the tarp.

    Amazing how many of you use split ridgelines. I always thought most people here do continuous ridgelines.

    Tried a continuous ridgeline a few times. Lost my cool trying to untangle it and went back to splits. My tarp shows no sign of damage. This tarp is several years old and has had lots of use.
    If you prepare for failure you will probably succeed.

    I hang both my DCF Hex and hammock from the same split line strap suspension, and everything is just fine.

    I use continuous (one piece) but am apparently one of the few!

    I use a continuous ridgeline with my larger (with doors) tarp, and a split one on my lighter (asym) tarp. I like both, and enjoy the different fiddle factors. Let’s face it, this is a really rewarding hobby for gear nerds :-).

    Especially with winter tarps, I like the CRL because it works well when using trekking poles to increase the amount of space under the tarp.

    Yes, I use dedicated poles for that, but I’d rather have the pole resting on a continuous ridgeline than on the seam of my tarp. For the Asym tarp, there’s no real application for the poles, so I go with the discontinuous ridgeline, and save my hiking poles for porch mode.
