The webbing is a bit difficult to work in and out of the biner. I can do it, but it takes a minute, especially after it has been loaded. Generally I leave the biners attached via the MSH to the straps for several hangs, but if I have to completely take the biner out it isn't without effort. I have to untie the knot and fold/unfold the webbing and twist it out of the tiny biner.
My thought is to modify this, slightly. (I like the idea of the biners for some strange reason, but this could also involve the Dutch Whoopie Hook just as easily.) I want to use the biner to connect Amsteel to Amsteel, as they are technically intended for. So I would add a continuous loop of Amsteel to this equation, to function as the "toggle" that would slip into that same MSH. Here I could either larks head it onto the MSH, or I could pass it through and fold it over, "doubling" it up, before locking it into the biner, and in turn onto the whoopie. (On this point, would one method be better than the other?)
