It's true I only use tarp for cooking.  Worse, I'm being lead into a fate trap because in about 90 days in the Q over 10 years, it rained a little on 2 or 3 days and a lot on just one.  I don't count a few night time sprinkles.  I'm pretty sure I've been very lucky.

Wow that is lucky!  I need to go tripping with you, sneak some of that luck.

Neat trick ST.  I've tried the drip-line on tarp & hammock sets, mixed results, takes care for much but not all drips.

Here's a car-topping trick.  If you use webbing straps and get tired of the hum of the wind put a 1/2 twist in the webbing.
