Right... so imagine what's going to happen first - the R-Max caving in/deforming/detaching tape to the wind or stressing to the rope which starts acting like a large wire cheese-slicer... or the - even just 300# "safe working load" rope breaking. Not sure, but guessing that Home Depot 3/8" poly rope is already overkill in terms of breaking strength (although, semi-technically, the main loop ought to be much heavier than the 6 leads going to stakes). Personally, I vote against the cheese-slicer effect by preferring flat webbing and doubling the force spread to two spread out webbings per stake.
