    I'll bet that many people are afraid or just very hesitant about doing any kind of mod on commercially made equipment that they have spent a lot of money on.

    True, but the buckle systems are by no means a permanent mod...maybe someone should emphasize that on a thread! Oh wait...guess I just did!

    Although the poll is closed, add me to the ring buckle group. I became a believer today with SMC descender rings, Doval wire gate 'biners, and 1.25 inch Harbor Freight straps. I used the ascender knot.

    Thanks to all you veteran hammock hangers. There are few groups left that so quickly and freely share their ideas and innovations.

    The poll has been reopened, and is scheduled to close in 2032 now. Get your votes in quick or you're out of luck.

    Ok, in 2032, I'll be 64. How many posts and members do you think we'll have by then?
