Hey guys,
looking for a little direction here. I'm in the process of converting my hh. I've got the light weight biners from REI, some rings from the local hardware store and some strapping that I cannibalized from a strap ratchet set. I like it. It's definitely quicker and more adjustable. Questions I have are, what do you guys think are better buckles or rings? Best place to get them. I think my rings are to small but they work. My straps seem a little soft as they tend to get twisted up and folded over each others as they go through the rings. Should I be using a more robust strap?

The system does work as I've slept a couple of nights in it in Northern MN but it doesn't seem to work quite as slick as what I've seen and heard described. I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments.

Randy
