HoLy CrAp... that was fast!!
Probably didn't hurt that he's only an hour or so up the road from me, but still.
I can confirm.... UCR option.... ALL Amsteel, brother! Guylines, ridge and baseline.
I'll add too... those boomstakes are SWEET! Pounded one into the back yard for kicks, roped it and put all my body weight and then some on it. Even after a pretty decent rain this morning... didn't budge a bit. The "specially reinforced" refers to the hole end on the boom reinforcement with 2" of additional inner tubing.
Also not mentioned: The boomstakes, tarp extensions and solo mods all come in their own cinch bags making it nice and neat to add or subtract components as needed. Throughout... the attention to finish detail is evident.
Weren't cheap, but pretty impressive kit. Let the tinkering begin!

I can't believe that this would work that easy:

Impossible to answer. It all depends on the infinite variability of ground conditions. But in general, with many exceptions and a large area of overlap, Orange Screws are better in ground easy to drive them in, while Boomstakes are superior in ground harder than that. Some beach sand conditions are firm enough that Boomstakes will hold, but Orange Screws generally have a better chance here. The "designated tent pads" of many developed campsites are too hard to get Orange Screws into: Boomstakes to the rescue, the boom itself not necessarily needed.

This puts me about 3" off the ground, but hanging! So psyched it works. A cinder blocks brings it up to a reasonable height, so I guess finding a branch, rock or whatever would help, although the sketch factor could be high considering what you find.

And, another with a log, and CL directly to pole. Luke at Hammock tent says no problem on the structural piece. I'm hanging about 12" off the ground. Feels every bit as stable as the tensa pole directly on ground. Or attached to a tree for that matter

And, with the tarp. Tight, but doable
