I've been using descender rings and webbing since 2007.
I've tried several other buckles and I always go back to the rings and webbing.
I may be replacing my webbing but I hope some of you can shed some light on a few questions.
First, I would like to be able to use trees a little further apart when needed and not have concern about webbing breaking or stretching.
I have not stayed current on all the webbing choices out there today, but I suspect some webbings may work better with descender rings than others, although I do use a slip knot so slipping is probably not a problem.
I've been using a 10' length of webbing with a loop on one end, were I use a U shaped piece of hardware that allows me to quickly go around the tree and clip the webbing back onto it's self.
The bigger the tree, the more of the webbing it uses of course. That has not often been an issue but occasionally I may want to hang from trees somewhat further apart.
Been hanging from trees at least 12' apart (12' tarp), but there are times I might want to use two trees, maybe 15' or more apart.
That's when I get concerned about webbing stretching or breaking.
Any suggestions on strong, no stretch webbing?
My weight is 260 btw.
I was going to add pictures of my set up but it said " invalid image".
If anyone cares to see what I've been using, I see them on pages 3, 7 and 13 in my Hammock Forums gallery.
