I feel the e trunks are safer than the dutch buckles/msh setups. The reason i switched over to the e trunks is for the way the hook holds the whoopie i feel it is less likely to slip off and out. Just my opinion on the systems.

Of the three you are asking about I think I like the Elephant trunks best but its only because I never liked scrunching and twisting webbing. There's no rhyme nor reason to it but I just like the webbing to stay flat. The lightest set up is the MSH with a trail stick.

Its also a matter what some us feel gives a larger safety factor as some us hangers on on the heavy side. A setup that might be fine for my wife might not be for me (140# vrs 280#). Some of our hangers are close to 400#
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
and i can say this from experience, im just under 300# and Big Turtles bigger than me, and we both have D. Buckles. I also have trunks, and while I like them, I think the buckles are a faster setup (one less step needed, and you dont have to stuff the amsteel into the trunk on the buckle.) but were talking a second faster.
I even use the Trunks for other things, like hanging a UQ or other gear since it has the hook.
So end the end, I think you could go either way on these. I did do a review if you havent seen it kinda comparing the 2 http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=40384
either way you go you have great products and service.

1) Only his opinion.
2) He likes the safety of the Dutch Buckles.
3) The weight savings from an Elephant Trunk is great.
4) Weight gain from a toggle is minimal.
5) Buckle is more secure than a marlinspike hitch and toggle.
6) Again, only his opinion.

Thanks MAD777 for the tip with sewing needles.
I like tying a MSH and think my toggles pretty.
