Lately, I have been seeing tarps getting so big, I 
suppose we should start calling them McTarps - supersized. 
Last weekend I saw MANY tarps that covered the entire campsite.
It even covered the screen tent, all the other tents, the
 picnic table, and most of the vehicle. I am even seeing
  people with tarps that cover the campsite and their RVs.
What is up with that?
One thing I HAVE to know is "How do they get their ropes 
that high up in the trees to set up those tarps? Some of 
the ropes must be up at least 10 feet or more. have a 30 
x 40 tarp that I took out on a trip exactly one time,
 just to see how it would work. It was for a large group 
 trip that was planned well before we saw the forecast 
 that was calling for high temps and blazing sun, so I 
 figured we could use a lot of shade. Getting the ropes
  high enough in the trees wasn't a problem for me. I 
figured out a way to use an adjustable tarp pole to 
walk a loop to heights of 12+ feet up a tree - one of
the reasons I kind of chuckled at that 
tool. The real problem was figuring out how to 
set it to avoid catching water in the event of a summer
thunderstorm. A tarp that big would collect enough water 
to cause some damage to anything under it if it collapsed.

Anyway... The best way I can think to describe how I do it goes like this (for a right handed person):

Make a lasso wrap around a tree as high as you can by yourself. Don't pull it tight. 
Holding the "tail" with just enough tension to keep the lasso from falling in your 
left hand, with your right hand insert a pole inside the lasso at an angle to the tree 
(pointing left) and move it to the right, pushing the loop up a bit. Work it around to 
the back. Pull the pole out, and work the left side of the loop up in similar fashion.

That probably sounds complicated and I should probably make a video of it, but it's 
one of those things I just never seem to get around to. With a bit of practice, it got to
 where I could jump the rope up a good foot at a time. It's all in balancing the tension
 on the tag end and how much slack in the loop you can move upwards at once. 
Unfortunately, for the other end - on the other tree - I can't figure the words to 
describe how I get the rope up while keeping it under tension AND have it spiral
 down to the ground to stake it out.
I guess I'll make that video one of these years...
