Trees sway in the gusts. Anything is possible in the physical forces applied when they randomly move apart.
Meh, stitch it back together.
The tarp that I had damaged was where the ridgeline time-outs are added. The reinforcement was sewn onto the body of the tarp but the folded hemline wasn't
LowTech Today, 09:11Well, it was a clean-ish tear...that's cool that you can repair it! At least you know the material held up...just needs a stronger reinforcement where
FLTurtle Today, 09:03It was split, but it had 3/8 grosgrain inside of it. So semi CLR? Haha
Double Today, 08:58From the description I'd say it was along the ridgeline. That makes me wonder if it was a CRL or a Split?
Well that info came out before
It was a DIY half winter tarp made out of pu4000 material. It failed due to my craftsmanship. I used grosgrain in the seem to bypass the need for reinforcements

Yeah I am becoming more and more convinced that beyond luck, and site selection, there isnt much you can do if you get a 40+ mph gust

Thanks for sharing! It looks like y'all had a great time, even if there was rain, mosquitos, and blood curdling cries in the middle of the night.
