    Is it safe to tie a marlin spike hitch and use a carabiner to clip directly into it? I have been using a toggle and placing a whoopie behind the knot, however it seems possible for the whoopie to get off the knot and onto the toggle. So I was thinking if I don't try to go behind the knot and just clip right into the hitch with a climbing grade carabiner I can eliminate that possibility. Is this a sound/safe method?
