    Nicely done. How heavy are those D-rings?

    Not sure. I don't own a scale just yet.

    That's a pretty good point. Just might do that.

    Be careful with those straps. I used them a lot with no problems at all until one day I set up with just slightly less then 25* sag. As soon as I put any weight on it at all the strap exploded. I had no idea what just happened and I was on the ground. Lucky for me it was just a test hang at the park and I wasn't out in the back country. I didn't even have my full weight on it at the time of failure. I don't even think I had HALF my weight on it. If you do use these make darn sure you have enough space between the trees to get a full 30 or more sag or you may be ground bound.
    Cheers,
