    Noob question on carbiner's

    Okie dokie

    I’ve got my DL DIY hammock made and ready for my DIY whoopies. I gots me some strapping and???

    I think I am going with carabineers instead of the Dutch clips for know. How in the world do I select a biner? Most have a rating so how does one select? I sure don’t wanna end up on the ground in my hammock before I ever leave the house!!! LOL Thanks!
    Live simply,love generously, care deeply, speek kindly and leave the rest to God!

    Anything climbing rated will be fine. Look for something with at least 10kN (kilonewtons) on the major axis.

    You can make carabiners of amsteel, cheap and very light!
    They are called soft shackles
