On the webbing, I don't think the daisy chain is necessary. Just sew the rings in one end and a webbing loop in the other. Girth hitch the webbing around the tree (wrap around the tree, slide rings thru the loop and cinch down on the tree) and you can adjust the length by wrapping around the tree. As long as you wrap backwards from the girth hitch, it will grip the tree and will not slide/slip (if it doesn't slide, then it will not harm the tree bark).
Thanks for a great weight saving idea.
