    600 really isn't strong enough. It may hold you but this isn't worth the weight savings. Buckles, clips, sewing, and knots will all take away from that 600 number. And I think you are going to thru and you want something reliable and durable. I try to build at least 1000 pounds breaking strength for my suspension.
