Guys,
I've had some great suggestions on how to make
easy to remove/strong enough guy points.
These included:
1) Big captive hooks used for lifting work.
2) Big link galvanize chain with a #8 grade bolt
securing and attaching the thimble to two of the
extra links
3) Big carabiners. I found two sources which open
up greater than 1.5" and have ratings in the
10,000 pound range and have captive hooks
