    Only one way to find out if they are up to the task!
    I used metal Mitten Hooks.. Visually identical to yours. Structurally.. who knows.
    Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

    I remember people reporting this issue years ago, but I've never experienced it myself... maybe I managed to get some sort of supersilnylon?? Lol.

    Lotsa room for adjustment here. Good setup, tried and true a prussick on paracord will hold a mans weight. Having two shock cord tensioners just adds more flappy resistance. I built the broline mod on my dutchworms, so now my tarps all have shock cord loops on all tie outs, plus the broline mod, plus whatever water collection i have on the corners. This just means that the tarp has plenty of give for if a branch sheds a bucket at a time and the tarp has to catch all that weight, or really big crosswinds tring to take off with the tarp will be defeated by all the give.
