Are the beastee dee rings anything other than a rope attachment point to the tarp and/or a hole for a porch mode pole? I can't seem to find a video that would suggest you could use them as a line tensioner but some prefer them to lineloc?

Pretty much. HG offers either on their tarps.
For any of my tarps with Beastee-D, that gives me some flexiblity in terms of how they connect. I've used a lot of different solutions, but the one that I found works best for me is functionally the same as LineLoc, and yet are detachable. You can also tie a loop of shock cord to them for insurance against ripping the tarp and use something else to attach your guy lines to the shock cord. Here's what I am currently using:

Those Beastee-D holes are also used as the terminal point for interior pole mods. Instead of running a pole over the ridgeline and to the side panel-pulls, a longer, flexible, shock-corded, pole is arced inside the tarp, forming an arch with pole ends placed inside those Beastee holes.
In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.

Very nice! I have the Skjold 10 UL tarp; do you think the same length poles would work for me? What length did you end up making the poles?
