Listen up, MY way is THE best! No really, it’s quite nice. Take two lines. Tie a bowline knot on one end of each line. Be generous with the size of the loop. A larger loop is easier to thread through. Slip a NAMA Cord Claw onto each line and tie a stopper knot at the end of the line to keep it from slipping off. Then wrap each line around a tree by threading through it’s own loop like you do a hammock strap. Hook each Claw to an end of the tarp and tension it up enough to get it off the ground. From there, it is pretty easy to determine how much to tension each end so that it ends up in the ideal position on your first try; either centered or offset closer to the foot tree if you hang Warbonnet style.
Ultralight, cheap, reliable, quick, easy, very few drawbacks or points of fiddling.
Another FYI:
Zing it is yellow
Lash it is grey/gray
They are the same though. It’s a strange naming scheme IMHO, so I figured it could possibly be confusing to others too.
