Ok so here 's the store I have a cuban tarp that has plastic D-rings for connecting the ridgeline. I have never had a problem with it till this week. I hang my ridgeline as a continuous v set up seen here: http://theultimatehang.com/2012/05/r...with-hardware/ This weekend had freezing temps and wind. I'm thinking the swaying trees actually pulled the tarp ridgeline so hard it broke the cold plastic D-ring and this probably saved my tarp. I'm scared now that this setup that I have fallen in love with may be bad for the tarp and put to much stress on the tarp if the trees sway. I could do a continuous straight ridgeline (non-v) with prussic loops to attach the tarp this would take the stress off the tarp but I hate the ridge line rubbing on my hammock suspension like a violin. Any advice on something I haven't thought of here.
