what do you think of this....completely removing the suspension rope and replacing with a slap strap. The sewn tunnel at the end of the Clark alows me to simpley unknot the rope and slide in a loop of eno slap strap. That way I can wrap around a tree and use a biner to clip from the big end loop to one of the sewn in loops. The length is only a foot shorter than the orginal Clark rope.

I have seen the ring buckle system but at this point I think I prefer the one piece and simple clip system of the biner and loops.
