Does anyone else attach their tarp to their hammock suspension instead of running additional lines to the trees?
I put dog bones on each end of the hammock to add some length of Amsteel before it Mantis clips to the 1" daisy chains. (Otherwise I'd have to attach the tarp to the daisy chains and I want it to be able to slide along the Amsteel.) I attach a clip to the middle of the dog bone with a prussic knot, and use this to hook onto the ends of the tarp. Then I stake out the side guy lines like normal.
I don't have the option to raise up the tarp this way, but I really hate extra cords.
