Made a pair and wanted to incorporate them so if something failed I could use them real quick without having to shove them in a pocket.....im only 160 pounds will this hold? ......is it safe? I dont want to pull a shug cinch buckle fail

I don't see why it wouldn't work.

We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
I'm no expert, but I'll use my logic here. The force exerted on the straps is reduced by friction as you go around the tree. If you wrap enough times, the friction alone will hold the weight. Even with one wrap, the amount of force put on that connection point, whether it be a carabiner, dutch clip, or nacrabiner, will be less than the original force coming from the strap. (Unless you find a magical frictionless physics book tree...) Assuming all the parts of the system are set up correctly, it should be just fine. Some may pipe up about "fabric on fabric," but that isn't a concern in a situation like this. Happy hanging!
Should be fine as long as its a good knot. Can't tell because I'm on my phone.
Don't let life get in the way of living.
Looks good from here.

In my not so expert opinion, if it's holding, it's holding. Just remember rule 1 of hammocking, don't hang higher than you're willing to fall.

I used a diamond knot on the biner thanks for the input guys!
Hope everyone in the US is enjoying the heat I got locked out of my house wile in my hammock at about 1 this afternoon....that was fun
I have been using on on my hammock suspension....Dutch Clip on one strap...nacrabiner on the other. Been watching then.
So far it has held like a champ.

Whooooo Buddy)))) All Secure in Sector Seven
i would like to add that webbing and rope interface is subject to friction and increased wear at the contact point.( more so than either in contact with the metal of biner.) probably not a big problem but worth considereing
