Dutch biners idea

[gmcttr]

I also think the Dutch biner is too tight for a strap. I think it would have a tendency to turn sideways while it is unloaded making it easy to accidentally hang on the gate.

Oohh, different Dutch bling. :-)
My main question is if the biners will clip to the straps.
My goal with the biners is to be able to switch if needed. I usually carry one long piece of webbing to hang my pack or whatever, but have used it when I needed the extra length. If i inverted the whoopie. I don't know if id have the flexibility.

Switch what, if needed? I don't get it. Can't you put a loop on the strap and larkshead onto the other strap? I like loops on the ends of all my straps - I can't see the downside.

I don't think you would lose versatility - you can extend the strap via continuous loops or larksheaded straps ad infinitum.

Looks like the opening on a Dutch Biner is about 1 inch, but I am also concerned that's just not enough room for the whole thing to hang properly.

Thanks for all the input, guys. I went ahead and ordered some amsteel loops and will rig it like Dutch does in the video. Should be what I am looking for.

SS, connecting 2 straps sounds so obvious once you point it out. :-)

I do always check and double check my hang site, but the harder it is to leave something behind, the better.

I ordered up some Dutch biners thinking I will clip my woopies right to the tree straps, then I almost can't forget and leave the straps (and more importantly, my Dutch clips) behind.

Will this work, or will I need some amsteel loops to clip the biners to?

it does work. there was a vid that i cant seem to find at the moment, video claimed you had to put the gate opening on one side of said woopie and strap.... EDIT here ya go.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL1Hg2AcNdU

Here is a quick pic of our 1" camo webbing on a Dutch Biner. You can see that there is enough room, as seen in the video. The inside radius' (the ends) are hand sanded to protect your Amsteel loops and slings but should also protect your webbing. I tilted the biner a bit so you can see the inside radius edge. As with everything I caution you to inspect your gear regularly for wear.

There are two biners available at Dutchware. The first is the aluminum "Dutch Biner" (pictured) and is suitable for hanging you Hammock on. The second is the "Titanium Ridgeline Biner" that is not for hanging you hammock on. It was designed as a very light biner for use on your hammock ridgeline but can and has been used for tarp set-ups, hanging quilts or even a "bling" way to hang other gear from trees or packs.

After packing up my gear I always take the time to thank the trees that kept my butt safe and off the ground all night. I walk over to each one and put my hand on it and give it thanks and make sure it isn't trying to steel any of my gear.

Good so far, knocking wood.
