Have you tried using that heavy webbing with the cinch buckles yet? I tried mine with 4500 lbs webbing and it is too thick and stiff. It makes adjustment very difficult. That style of cinch buckle does work very well with 1500 lbs webbing and I'm guessing at least up to 2500 lbs.
I definitely agree on using cinch buckles instead of doubled descender rings with webbing. Readystrap and Dutchware both carry them, but I prefer the one from
dutch with the amsteel loops for a direct larks head connection to the hammock.
Viper...I'm wondering why you're having a problem with amsteel tangling. I always start at the foot end of a hammock and stuff the amsteel whoopie sling in a stuff sack, followed by the hammock with SRL and the head end whoopie sling. Hanging it back up is just the reverse...hook the head end whoopie over the MSH, drag the hammock out of the sack and hook the foot end whoopie to the MSH. I've never had it tangle at all.
