Well I can finally contribute to this thread.
I'm a total convert now!
After years of knots, lashes, and wraps this rocks!
I decided to set this up on my claytor expedition hammock.
I got the stuff in tonight (spyderline and ccbuckle) and went ahead and used the knots angrysparrow used here

I went ahead and used the 1/2" nylon webbing supplied with the expedition....BIG mistake!!!
It was holding fine, I kept testing it and checking, sitting, etc.
I then felt confident and laid down. I was just marveling at how easy and awesome the system was when I fell.... ouch!
that's the first time I've fallen in a hammock and it hurt pretty bad.
Anyway, after looking again, the 1/2" isn't wide enough. It kind of 'creeps' to the corner making the crimp less effective.
So I went and stole some 1" polypro off a speer I made and all better!!
I tested that with much more bouncing before I laid down
With a biner, this is quick and VERY easy to adjust. I wish I would have known about this a long time ago......
BUT I'd advise against anything less than 1" webbing with the cc buckles.
