    I should modify that, it doesn't show up if done in a certain way.

    I suppose it is not as quick as the Becket when it(Becket) is used without the back up method. Because, I have to take a few seconds to undo the back up hitch. Which is always very easy to undo. But, from that point on, it is as quick to undo as anything else I have tried, plus it is never very hard to undo it. I guess the main reason I stick with it is old habits, and I never have to think about how to tie it, it is just so obvious. And thus quick. I used it for such a long time with my Claytor that I got very used to it, and now I use it with any of my hammocks which have a continuous loop on them. Even my HammockTent 90º, which specifically recommends a Becket.

    Yep, still unavailable... and if Dutch can't get 'em nobody can.

    I've googled about quite a bit and cannot find anything about the supply issue, or when they might be available again.
