Prusiks
I use 2.2 Zingit for both tarp ridgeline and 6 wrap prusik. Also there is a 2.2 Zingit pull loop built into prusik.
Pull loop is laid on tarp ridgeline with one edge of circle touching tarp ridgeline. Then prusik is tied around both pull loop and ridgeline.

I actually tie 5 wraps but it looks like 6 wraps.
It holds real good.

The pull loop usually pulls prusik easily to new spots on ridgeline. If needed to loosen, I bump the middle bight of prusik with my thumb. Then I push those two strands that were under to bight back up into the hitch, and then I squeeze the hitch, pinching it with my thumb and finger. This distributes the looseness throughout the hitch.

But usually I don’t have to loosen prusik, the pull loop does it’s job.

I did not invent pull loop, but I show it in some videos. I think one of those videos is called Using A Pull Loop David Hughes

Due to a snafu, I have two YouTube channels

Easy to find
Phantom Grapplers recommended ties part 1 and part 2 David Hughes many videos on that channel

Using a pull loop David Hughes
Also other videos there too

One of these days I’ll contact YouTube and get my two channels combined into one channel

Ordinarily, I never ask anyone to subscribe, but it might be best to subscribe to both my channels to keep from losing track of my videos—that are mostly about camping knots and hammock and tarp suspensions.

Nama Claws are the bomb! I got to meet inventor of Nama Claws at Medoc Mountain Hang a few years ago. I think his trail name is CountryBois. Good people. And those Nama Claws hold and adjust great. Check with them to make sure you are using the recommended size tarp line.
