    I like the CAMP Nano 23. I think it is the lightest climbing rated biner available. If you are using it for your tree straps, you could also go with Dutch Clips, which are made by a forum member and are even lighter.

    I also like the CAMP Nano. I was using full size BLack Diamonds but you don't need a 6000 lb carabiner for hammock camping.

    Just picked up 2 ange s biners by petzl. 28 grams and there is no catch on the gate like a traditional wire gate. A little expensive, but much easier to use than the camp nano 23. Not to mention a little heavier. 10 grams per pair. My opinion, the ange s is the way to go.

    PS I have always hated wire gate biners, and I do have a pair of the camp biners. There might be some other biner that is lighter and better, but I only look at climbing rated biners.

    Whats your favorite Carabiner

    I was using the Metolius FS Mini biner. It weighs 23 grams and costs $7.50 at rei. I recently switched to Dutch clips/whoopie hook combo.

    I'll have to second this. It's what I use on mine and they're great!
