Won't work.
While your loading one end of the bury, you're releasing the other end. On a ucr type bury you have to load only
one end. Any tension on the other end, even a little, and it releases the constrictor.

I just got it too. Cool idea!

Or you could still have the nacrabiner but you'd have to put a tie-loop close to the bury then leave enough slack so that the other end of the bury wasn't being released.
Gonna have to play with it some I think.
But gosh its' fun though.
Had another thought. What if the loop on the bury around the ridgeline had a nacrabiner type slip-loop on it. You could tie a lanyard knot (stopper knot) into a piece of shock cord on a bight and lark's head that onto your tarp, then the lanyard knot ball could fit through the slip-loop to attach your tarp to the ridgeline. Kind of like a cut-apart nacrabiner, the loop end attached to your ridgeline via a bury, and the stopper knot permanently attached to your tarp.
Does that make sense? I think I am gonna try it.

I think I see the point. You could tie a diamond knot out of one piece of line through the D-ring or eliminate the ring and go through the webbing on the tarp. Then make a length of line threaded over the ridge line that will bind down with either a fixed loop to tie a larks head around the diamond knot or a slip loop to come around the diamond knot. To me the advantage is that there is no way for this system to "fall off." You couldn't lose this set-up unless you tried. Great idea for a kid set-up or scout troop. Us older people are always so observant we would notice if we lost things
