    220 pounds - they must be awfully big trail sticks?

    As long as the whoopie sling is on the knot of the marlin spike hitch and not the trail stick themselves there should be no problem.

    I have used both the MSH and the Dutch Buckle and I have to say the Dutch Buckle is the way I now travel. Haven't had a problem with the whoopie slings slipping off the Dutch Buckle when adjusting like I did with the MSH. Personally they just feel safer and they don't weigh enough to worry about.
