Hey Guys, I just thought I'd through this out there because I haven't really seen anything like it and would be curious to know if there is any interest. I don't have any intentions on making anything myself but maybe if enough people are interested Dutch might do a run (??? )
Anyway, currently I'm using 1" tree straps (6ft), Nano 23g carabiner and 7/64" amsteel whoopies. I've tried using toggles in various forms (carbon fiber shafts, aluminum shafts, sticks, etc.) and haven't really been happy with them. I find them a pain to adjust, don't trust their security, and find new hangers have a tough time learning the MSH.
I like the carabiners because it's a no brainer, full proof and easy to adjust. However, I don't like the additional volume and 46g weight (i'm an ultralight cycling bikepacker/tourer so I want to minimize volume/weight everywhere I can)
Here's my idea: Make a piece of hardware that can loop into the sewn end of a 1" tree strap or slipped in to the loop on a MSH. The other end has a hook for 7/64" amsteel. Small, easy to adjust, full proof, adjustable, light. Any interest?
