I'll have to test it. It was something I noticed on a video from tacblades. But I think I made the opening to far up. I'll post a pic when I can test it.

I'm not sure yet what I'm going to use as tie out.
I have some 12mm grossgrain ribbon and 25mm polyester webbing.
If i want to sew it trough the seam on the ridgeline and on the hem, 25mm seems to wide. The hem and seam is about 10mm when done.
But webbing is probably more durable.
What do you guys use?

25mm would be a bit chunky, I've got thin grosgrain on my summer tarp, hasn't been a problem but I avoid my lines sliding through. Do you have any D rings or line locks for the RL/ tieouts?

I've got some beastie d's, normal D rings and rings.
Did you use 10 or 12mm?

Thanks! I was thinking the same. I have 1mm dyneema cord. It will tear the grosgrain pretty quickly I think so is was thinking of using shock cord as well.

Had one, came free with a superfly I bought off eBay iirc. Never used it. All my stuff either goes on the shelf of my blackbird or ends up under my bottom.

My first hammock and tarp pitch... Don't laugh probably made a ton of mistakes 
I don't have a possibility to hang in the garden, so I went to the park.
I used toggles for the tarp ridgeline
They work pretty good. Lightweight and with the cord wrapped around a few times it doesn't give a mm.
Tarp:
Peak bag, I don't know if I'll use it. It's not very easy stuff something in it. But on the other it could function as a pillow too (if I need one..)
Total weight hammock, tarp, suspension, cordage total 873gram

The peak shelves in Dutch's Chameleon are clever, they need some extra hardware but I really them.
I switched over to a Chameleon a few years ago and thought I'd really miss the shelf on my WBBB, but they do work really well and hold a decent amount of bits.

Can't wait to try it out. But first the covid curfew has to be removed.

That looks great, and at a very respectable weight, there's a real benefit to the sil poly.My first hammock and tarp pitch... Don't laugh probably made a ton of mistakes

How do those toggles on the tarp work?

Another shameless copy of tacblades
And it works fine. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to adjust where the tensioner is located. The move it up and down the guyline. I'll test it some more.
