I have now been taught or shown a few ways to develop a ridgeline. I haven’t been a fan of using hardware, preferring knots in bushcraft. I always use a Siberian Hitch on the first end.

Ive gone from wrapping the rope around a tree then around the main line and back around a tree. it works but I cant get enough tension with damage to my hands. This way seems the fastest truckers variation i have seen.
