Luebben's book was the first I bought, and that would be a great start. My take is that no one ever died from having too strong an anchor. This sounds like more than you need, but it is important to feel safe. Just be cautious of something that is so complex that you cannot easily inspect it. I do think it is important to ask what elements you think might fail (will a tree break?) and have a backup. Remember, if you determine something won't fail, you are betting a lot on that judgment. Be safe!
