Ok I teach 'em all that as back up. Fortunately the grinding stone on the dremel did a nice job of roughing up the finish. Now they lock tight. In fact they hold just a single cord of amsteel as well.

I was thinking just a couple passes of plumbers cloth would be sufficient... But hang your own hang...

Slippery half hitch is excellent for rings.

Well on the rings... Was that 200# working load, or 200# breaking strength... They are two entirely different things..

The site didn't distinguish. I guess I'll just have spend a few nights in each hammock to test them out.

Wow...all the colors of the rainbow Very nice.
If you ain't havin' fun, you're doin' it wrong
The SMC descender rings are rated at 14 kilonewtons, which is over 3000# and only cost $3.10. Certainly overkill but rather safe than sorry.
