okay, in regard to my 'all in one' type setup for the bridge I thought of a ring and anchor.
So this would have to be an all male hammock LOL
But seriously, I think something along those lines would be lightest and most functional.....

I could weld something like that out of stainless or silver steel bar stock. small enough it would be as light as an aluminium nine and stronger. Let me know if you want one.okay, in regard to my 'all in one' type setup for the bridge I thought of a ring and anchor.

schrochem/warbonnetguy, I picked up a two of these buckle sets today at the store.
The 'male' bit is more or less as you described, and only weighs 5.9g (0.21oz). The loops fit a 3/4" webbing strap.
I have no idea what the breaking strain is, but if it can hold in my gut, it's gotta be good for a few hundred pounds.
Well, if you want them, PM me and you can have 'em for free and test your idea. If not, they're going round my waist - both of them, just in case.
I've started a new thread:

those look very interesting. have you tried them to see if they are strong enough? i would be happy to test them out, but are you really in hong kong? shipping would cost a fortune and take weeks. i just sent something from colorado to bc canada, and it took over two weeks. i can't imagine shipping from china.

yea, thanks for the offer zed, but it seems like a long ways a way.
I found that owfinc sells a surcingle that looks just like that.
google is calling a surcingle something else for horses but I bet it's a part of that. I bet I can find this locally.

scroll down here you'll see some more of the surcingles, but go a little further and check out the weird medical wire forms.
