I’ve been away from the forums for a while and missed out on Mule Tape altogether. (It appears I didn’t miss out on much!)

That said, I’m following my gut and training on this. I’ve redone my rig but am using Dutch’s Spider straps becket’ed to a fat rappel ring that is larked to a continuous loop piece of Dyneema. I figure the rappel ring will minimize bend radius of the webbing and eliminate the cord on cord friction.

I’m not really worried about adding an ounce or two to my rig. The peace of mind and old school indoctrination that one should never have rope on rope (or webbing) contact is more important to me. As they say, old habits are hard to break!
