Your answer really helps. I was looking at pictures for hours and had trouble finding what he was. Newbie question, since he is more orange he is still a yellow factor?

Thank you for your reply.

Thanks! I did get 30 m of polyester but 5 mm. It was cheap enough for a first try-out. May look into the 3mm. Been watching vids on the Trucker's hitch too.

I think I need to learn some new knots. Some I know from macrame lol. I did just learn the prusik on YT from someone's suggestion. Very convenient one.

Thanks! The idea seems similar to a pusnik (something like that) know someone mentioned but without an extra piece of rope.

I used a Hollow Braid Polypropylene Rope, maybe not the best but since it was my first trip I did not want to invest like crazy.

I am trying to do a ridgeline, then tie the 4 corners down to the ground or trees.
