There have been a number of reports lately - here and on FB - chronicling the failure of the DCF Tarps in high wind. I have been curious about this for some time which coupled with cost has prevented my serious research in this area as a potential purchase; well that and noise but noise isn't that important.
So what gives,?; Is Sil-Poly better suited to high winds, does DCF have an issue with shock stress (as it doesn't stretch) or are the pictures and reports just very unlikely and happened with a very specific set of circumstances? I speak specifically in regards to a trip in the Catskills that was documented here where some folks had to leave the hang, some went to ground, and specifically one member here lost his tarp at the ridgeline.
Thanks for your .02 in advance.
