Hey all. I got my NX250 in the other day and LOVE IT!! I have been experimenting with the suspension on it and have chosen to switch out the polypro straps with 3/16" or 1/4" Amsteel blue. I want a rig that is easy to suspend and adjust without numerous retying of knots. Normally, I'd put this in the suspension section, but since it especially relates to the drip rings that come with the Clark, I feel this might be the better forum.
I would like to use the current method that I have set up with the polypro rope, only with the Amsteel blue, using the Drip Rings to adjust the length of the suspension seen here. The question that I have though is whether or not anyone uses Amsteel blue in this configuration and what their results have been, especially with the "slipperiness" of the Amsteel blue and the 3-4 half hitches that are placed at the end of the suspension. Has anyone had these slip or come untied or is it pretty secure? If it isn't secure, I'll probably just switch to SMC rings and use a gardahitch instead, but I am trying to save the money on having to purchase additional hardware.
