So I think I'd like to tie some simple loops on the tie outs for my tarp but even after doing a bunch of google searches I could not find:
1) What is a good length of the loop to put on each of the tarp tie outs? I read somewhere that the people who create a single cord use about 12", so would that be a good start?
2) I can understand the appeal on the corners, but should I also have the loops on my two tie outs that would tie to each tree (on either end of the hammock)? I do not have a continuous ridge line but rather 1.5mm dyneema line.
If it matters, each guyline is 10' 1.5mm dyneema line (including the lines that run to the tree, honestly not sure what this is called on a non continuous ridge line setup).
3) Would a simple square knot suffice for keeping the loop held or do I need something more fancy?
