I have Dutch's lash-it tarp ridgeline with soft shackles and a wasp. For those of you with the same ridgeline, how do you roll up your line when taking down the tarp so that you don't have to fumble with tangles when deploying it?

I use a figure 8 hank for all my lines as seen in this video. It keeps cordage from tangling.
Look into getting some snake skins/tarp skins. It make deploying and packing up a tarp much easier IMO. You can just leave the tarp attached to the RL, roll up the side tie outs in the tarp, slide the snake skins/tarp skins over the tarp and then figure 8 hank the Zing-it on both ends.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
I leave it attached to the tarp.

Snakeskins from mountain goat, shove the cordage in the convenient pockets she adds.

Ridge line is wrapped and kept in the stake bag. The guy lines stay attached though.
That is what I had been doing. My question was how do you roll the line to keep it from tangling. But now I wonder why I removed it from the tarp at all. Even though I will begin leaving it attached to the tarp in snake skins, I would still be interested in hearing how everyone rolls the RL to keep it from tangling
Based on having seen the same question in other contexts, the figure 8 hank is going to be the most recommended method of keeping any cordage from tangling.
