    Or you can just use sticks found on the ground as toggles and not change anything.
    i dont want to use sticks either, that takes time. The objective is to get the setup as light AND fast as possible. So no new hardware, no toggles.

    Have you tried putting the D ring through the loop and using the D ring as a "toggle"?

    Edit: Opie is faster than me!

    I'm surprised you haven't cut the D-ring off. You could tie to the webbing just as well. I vote nacrabiner and/or penberthy.

    I think you're missing the point - a nacrabiner isn't new hardware. It's a fast, clever, easily removable replacement for a knot in your cord. There is no stick, no toggle.

    I am wary to try the dring as a toggle, just doesn't look like it would hold up ina strong wind.

    i thought a nacrabiner was some kind of hardware. Google search pulled upp nothing.
