hungry figure 9 biners..

By the way, when judging ratings for components, be wary: many things can affect structural failure. As nutty pointed out via calc, hammocks pull more than you'd expect, simply because of the angle. Also, most load ratings are for static load, and do not account for things like when getting in and out less than gently. Also beware of things like knots and carabiners for rope, as sudden bends like this do affect the breaking point just as fraying certainly does. Even the whoopie slings subtract about 20 percent of the rope's strength in the splice. Ideally, your safety margins should be at LEAST about 5x your weight, and the more the merrier!

I used figure 9's for years with my stock Hennessy without issue other than they were relatively bulky.
That was before I discovered Hammockforums.
