7/64 Amsteel Blue is just what I had after making whoopies.
+1 on what MAD777 on widow makers not being stopped by a ridgeline. No evidence, but doesn't seem likely.

Hammocking, car camping, backpacking, kayaking, and mountain biking. Getting in touch with nature is getting expensive. Good thing I can DIY!

Yep, 7/64th amsteel has a 1400 pound break strength vs Zing-it at 400 pounds, I like the extra 1000 pounds of Widow Maker protection. Of course with the tarp line I am up to 2,800 pounds of protection.
Lots of variables to be considered, but you're right, a direct hit by a big'un won't be stopped. What will happen, though, is some of that energy will be absorbed by the r/l prior to failure. Or maybe it won't fail, and will become a fulcrum around which the limb will pivot before hitting the ground on one end, and then it will fail. Either way, I'll settle for that.
