    okay, have read back a page or two and haven't seen any comments on this yet, apologies if it's already been covered, so here it is:

    SLS set up using 15' x 2" UHWMP tree straps with an Evo loop at the tree end as a soft shackle, then a mini Evo loop for a tarp line attachment point using a prussic and then an Evo loop at the Hammock end using either a larkshead or a prussic , tied off with a beckett hitch.

    The tarp line is about 15' long with a loop on one end to attach to one mini evo and a mini continuous loop attached with a prussic at the other end to hook up with the other mini Evo with a couple of mini continuous loops in-between (again using prussic knots) to hang the tarp from.

    No hard edges, easy to adjust and set, 2" strap holds the knots employed well, very compact/light and tree friendly
    All thanks to Jeff, thanks Jeff

    That sounds like it will work fine. I am understanding your tarp ridgeline is fifteen feet? The one limitation I see is that a 15' ridgeline will serious limit both the minimum tree distance (though that would be an issue regardless of the SLS setup) and how low you can get the tarp to the hammock. This is one of the reasons I moved away from 12' tarps.
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    My TRL is about 30'. That might be overkill, but zing it is so small why not. It also gives me some extra to use as a clothes line to hang my water bottle and jacket on.

    So I'm going to try attaching my tarp to two Dutch Spiders on either end of my existing hammock suspensions (1"webbing with Beetle buckles on the bottom for the hammock) with the Spiders well above the beetle buckles. Then attach Evo loops to each spider which will attach to the ends of the tarp. I will then be able to tighten up both Spiders on each end of the tarp to make it taught. The Evo loops can easily detach from the Spiders. You could actually hang the tarp first then the hammock if you are setting up in the rain.

    Nice! Should work well, as long as you use stiff enough webbing.
