Here are some pictures of my first tarp test.
Any feedback appreciated on my layout!

The ends are mini biners, the line is 275lb spectra, the ridgeline is undertarp, and I have 2 prussik knots on the ridgeline to stretch the tarp. I just seam-sealed it.
I had thought the white cloth strips were for pullouts, but I'm not so sure now.
What are they for? And should they be inside?

I can just flip the tarp and seamseal the new outside if they are.

Boy, I'm stoked, I leave tomorrow afternoon.Sidelong

The white tabs can be used to guy out the tarp using a different pitch (a half pyramid), or to pull out the sides for more headroom in your a-frame pitch (using two more sticks.) Your pitch looks fine. It's a little high off the ground if it starts raining with any wind.
