Guys,
How do you keep the Titanium Dutch Clips from slipping off of your straps? I'm wondering if it should put a touch of crazy glue on these?

When I used the original ones I never had an issue of losing them, however once he came out with the sew on.......

I use ADutchable clips so I don't have that problem.
I will be getting regular clips for my wife and will hand sew the existing loop closed at the clip so as not to lose them. Maybe that will help you.
Enjoy and have fun with your family,before they have fun without you
I'm going to use these with my Warbonnet Ridgerunner "factory" webbing so sewing them on wouldn't be easy at this point.
Even a few loops by hand will be enough to lock it in.
Look up before you hook up!!

They stay on pretty well.
A stitch or two through the loop next to the clip couldn't hurt though.
Never really had a problem, even on Kevlar (3.3) webbing. When I first used them I was concerned so I took them off whenever I broke camp and carried them in a small "goody bag" with some micro 'biners, tarp hardware, and other hardware bits. Now I don't bother, since the little "nub" that Dutch engineered to prevent them from falling off seems to work. I usually carry my hammock inside my pack anyway so even if they did fall off I could probably find them. If I do separate my suspension (if it's wet), I roll the whole bundle around the end with the clip and put it in a mesh pocket on my pack.
At home I roll the suspension around the hammock and make sure the clips are on the inside of the suspension roll. Then it goes into a plastic bin. Honestly don't think I've had one fall off yet and I have two sets - one on my Kevlar webbing and one on Poly webbing for my daughter.

I've never had one fall off but playing it safe, I had a couple of rubber o rings that I put over the strap to help tighten up that loop.

This is what I'm talking about. Thanks for the excellent idea.Originally Posted by Benji
