The method Shug shows on his video on tarp rigging (or one of them — as I recall it’s quite a set of tutorials) has the advantage that you get some stretch, but the cord is never fully stretched, and can’t stretch past a certain point. I’ve had a stake let go in high winds, and while it was irritating, it didn’t go flying through my tarp. I’ve wondered what happens when people who tie their lines to the stakes (rather than putting a loop around the stake) have the stakes pull out, and fly at the end of a flapping line.
