Setting up my Black Bird is ridiculously simple. Pull the webbing out of the stuff sack wrap around tree clip on with biners, adjust buckles done.
Then i sit down, untangle ridge line(s) and guy lines before i can set up the tarp. Breaking camp consists of pulling the stuffing the tarp back in the sack, sitting down and attempting to neatly store the ridge line and guy lines as to to have to untangle later. Never seems to work, some how they tie them selves in knots inside the pack. Of course...the hammock takes virtually no time to pack.
So i have identified what i want. A single ridge line, under the tarp, so i can hang items under the tarp. Setup just like the Black bird, with no figure nines....as i find they get lost easily, and some sort of tangle resistant line.
It has to be something that can be done in the dark with cold wet, numb hands.
Is there something out there readily available...or am i dreaming.
