    DIY No Knot Tarp Ridgeline

    This is a copy of Opie's style, using paracord, a jumbo clothes hanger, and some Zing It.

    The video shows the set up. I mentioned showing the tarp set up, but didn't include that part as I'm sure you all know how to hook a tarp to figure nines.

    If God had meant for us to sleep on the ground,
    He wouldn't have created trees....

    Nicely done. Set up something similar on the cheap for some friends just starting out.

    Thanks. Just copying what others have done. I like the fact that it's so simple.

    Very nice. Never played with the continous ridgeline, but that looks fairly simple.
