Tarp (not hammock) suspension idea

[Meadows]

I've swapped the accessory crab on first end and the crab and prussic of the second end of my amsteel continuous ridge line for soft shackle prussics.
Pros.
Less stuff to loose or break
Lighter
R/l packs away better
Cons.
Fiddlyer - may be just getting used to new method
Not sure how abrasion resistant the dyneema is if any rubbing occurs

Looks good.
Don't think there will be much of an issue with abrasion; unless line is moving over line (tensioned against each other), dyneema doesn't like much heat!

Both the prussic and ridge lines are taut, I will try to get it up in the wind tomorrow to see if there are any issues

I will be following this topic closely.
It looks like in photo 2 that its just looped around the tree and then the prussic is holding it taut.
Could you elaborate on the other end (photo 1), is it the same?
it looks like its not.
Thanks

I believe it's a continuous ridge line set up (which I use and find excellent) hopefully this video will shed light on it for you?

Cheers helpful video.
I'm going to have to get some amsteel and try it.

Here's a couple of ways I rig my tarp ridgeline.
This first is just a simple single ridgeline. The tarp is attached to the line with loops prussiked on to it, just move the prussiks to slide the tarp along the ridgeline. The tarp does not take any of the suspension tension (just what you put on the prussiks to pull out the tarp along the ridge).

This next one is rigged as a classic continuous ridgeline, so the tarp forms part of the loop and takes 50% of the ridgeline tension. The advantage of the continuous ridgeline is you can adjust the position of the tarp from one end, without zipping back and forth.
