Hi,

I'm making my first tarp, and since I'm new at this, I'm wondering if a tarp's line wrapped around a tree can cause damage, or if tree bark can damage the ridgeline/suspension?

I can imagine that a high wind might be the only threat, but thought I'd ask the collective if you've noticed bruising from tarp lines around the tree?

I have enough strap material to make a set for the tarp, but would like to avoid that if possible.

Thank in advance for sharing your experience. I hope you never notice where I set up my gear once I've gone!
