   *if using a hammock you may need to attach a rope to the end of it to create a tensioning knot as below for the ridge line (unless your tree trunk protectors have a tensioning/cinching device)
   *attach the other end of the ridge line to the other tree trunk protector (or better still a strong caribiner attached to the trunk protector so you can get less friction for your pulley effect) and create a trucker's hitch in it to tension it perhaps with the help of a Marlin spike hitch to pull it tighter
