An inexpensive old school alternative are machine nuts with their threads filed off to prevent chord abrasion.
Finding a location with the right size/shape crack at an appropriate distance and height from the tree or other rock outcropping is sound is slim. The pad would probably be the better choice of an extra item to carry. Plus if it gets colder than expected more insulation, need something to pad a splint, soft cushion to sit on, dry entry foot mat..... Things you could not use nuts for.
