Try this link out, looks like it was copied from the US military survival manuals.

The ones I've seen set up were either using a single rope in the centre, slung over a horizontal bough on a big oak or using two trees and a "ridge line" with the chute suspended from the middle of the ridge. Do you mind me asking where you got yours from as it's something I've been thinking about?
