    Yes. The Dutch aluminum suspension biner fits very nicely on the Ti cinch buckle.

    I'm using that setup to eliminate the amsteel loop which shortens the overall length on my bridge hammocks.

    On my bridge hammock, I made the loops on the amsteel dogbones large enough that I could just take the two loops together and larks head them onto the cinch buckle. It works great. But when my straps got wet (like they did over the last 5 days in the Smokies) I pulled the strap out of the cinch buckle and packed them away separately to keep my hammock dry(er). Using the biner would make that process easier, just a little bit heavier.

    Like purple? It's New England Ropes 3mm HTS 90 that I got on sale at West Marine early this year. It's a little stiffer than amsteel blue and massive overkill for this use.

So what if its overkill, would look much better with my purple tablecloth hammock than the blue-green Amsteel that's on it now.

    The main reason several of us started using the Dutch biner was to make it easier/faster to disconnect the dogbones to install the Spindrift.
