    Adjustable suspension

    So I've been looking at alternative methods for an adjustable suspension for my HH EXP ASYM. I can't find repel rings locally and don't have the time to drive over an hour away due to work schedule. I have picked up two climing grade biners and been playing around with how to adjust it. Here's two options I've been playing with. 1: wrapping the stock line around the non gate side of the biner twice, going through tree huggers then clipping binder into a figure 8 knot. I can then slide the rope up and down the biner to adjust. Only thing is it takes a little bit to redo the figure 8 if I have too much slack. I have used this twice and hold me at 220lb. 2: Haven't tried yet, but would be faster. Use a marlin hitch and biner as the spike.

    Thoughts?

    I have read about some people tying the rope and attaching a biner, so there is a way to make it work. If I can find the posts, I'll put a link here.
    Keep movin', keep believing and enjoy the journey!

    I've got some rap rings I bought for my Hennessy but then switched it to whoopies. I have no use for the rings. Folks here have been so helpful that I'd like to respond in kind. Message me here if you want the rings.

    +1 on the whoopies. I also initially changed to rap rings then went with whoopies...and am much happier. I also have a an unused set of rap rings sitting on a shelf...

    I got a set of rings for my son and then he seen my whoopie slings with Dutch buckles and likes them.
    I told him he could have slings but he said that he wants to use the rings for a while cause I bought them and he dont want to waste the money.
    got to love a scout with that kind of attitude. we will be using our HH this weekend with new set up for first time.
    will see how the ring set up works out for him. not sure I like that setup yet but he wants to try it out.
    hope to get some pics of the them to post also.
