Have used this on many occasions in mild weather and works GREAT! But, this last weekend the wind was a steady 30 mph and the prusiks just wouldn’t hold and kept slipping. Ended up running it under the centerline of the tarp for lifting support and using zing-it to stretch tarp. Middle of the night the hook end cut the line and I lost all lifting support. I have already repaired the cut end and will continue to use this for my tarps because it is such an easy setup. Just not for extreme winds.

The 30′ isn’t enough. Almost every time I used it, it comes up a few feet short. Apparently we have big trees in the west. I wish it was 45′

Very light and long enough. I’m looking forward to using this so this review is only first impressions. I have started using a ridge line in the past couple of years but I have been using paracord and bank line. This ridgeline is much lighter and certainly the thing to use when backpacking. It’s not so much a big deal when say, car camping or bike packing but is definitely something to pack away easily and use when weight is a factor e.g. backpacking and I’m thinking of throwing this in my first line survival kit that I carry when flying (yes, I’m a pilot).
I have only recently discovered hammocks and have a pretty nice setup but I was using a paracord and bank line based ridgeline to hang my tarp. Trust me, a ridgeline makes setting a tarp much easier and this comes into play when the weather is bad. I’ve raised four boys and all were scouts and I have many years as a scout leader behind me and one thing I’ve learned is that you cannot trust the weather report. When the TV weather personality says it will be great weather, count on it to rain/pour/snow/sleet/whatever when you get to the camp site with the scouts. This means you better be ready for it and be able to set up your stuff fast and like it was second nature. Unfortunately, when I used to camp with the scouts I just used a tent. Nowadays, I use a hammock when I can, not always, but a tarp is an integral part of this, and like I already said, it is easier to set up the tarp with a continuous ridgeline, just hang the tarp under the line rather than over it and practice before hand.
I have been using bank line prussicked to the ridgeline itself and have started using “soft shackles” this way but I have most recently been using S-biners (#2) to hang the tarp instead. I believe these biners are strong enough but time will tell. I do this mostly for convenience and it is fast. It seems possible to use the S-biners with the soft-shackles provided here but so far the only knock I have against this product is that these shackles, using the yellow zing-it cord in my case, are quite a bit fiddly, i.e. they are not so easy to use and in foul weather when time counts I’m not sure how easy it will be to secure a tarp (or whatever) to the ridgeline using the shackles. I may need to use S-biners to keep it easy. Again, I have yet to use this camping so this may not be an issue but we will see come spring time. Otherwise, everything else about this product is top notch including the line and the “wasp” and the Dutch hook spliced into one end.
