Best nonlocking climbing carabiners according to redditors

Break off the old link from the strap, use a big key ring and a small carabiner- here’s some examples so you can get an idea. Hardware store or any place they make spare keys will have these. You can find them much cheaper than these examples.

small carabiner

A Heroclip will let you hang your bag pretty much anywhere, including the bathroom stall!

This one is actually literally designed to be a bag carrier:

I hang my rings using climbing gear. It gives me an easy way to adjust ring height from pull-ups all the way down to ring pushups, in 3" increments. The rings are always level.

I hang long daisy chains from the ceiling. I girth hitch a 30cm pre-sewn runner/sling around each ring, and hang them from the daisy chains using a non-locking carabiner.

Edit: Here's a picture of the setup and a closeup of the rings/runner/carabiner.

"non locking climbing carabiner" is what you want. I don't buy gear i plan to actually climb on through Amazon because there have been issues with knock-offs getting into the mix by drop shipment fulfillers, but you are fine for "utility" gear.

• Cranker Multi-tool
  
• Pocket Bit
  
• Mini Pry Bar
  
• 32GB Flash Drive
  
• Mas Design K11
  
• TEC-S323 Isotope Fob
  
• Precision Screwdriver Keychain
  
• Scytek - T5-A - 5-Button

Any rock climbing carabiner should be more than rated to your hang and probably thin enough to go through your loop. Remember they are designed to withstand the force generated from people falling off rock face. I use these which are small and thin but I do care about weight.

I use an S-biner. It keeps my keys out of my pocket (attached to a belt loop) and lets me pick and choose which keys/extras I want to carry.

I use a few things. I use a FreeKey. to hold my car key, office key, Leatherman P4, & Preon P0. I also have a 6” cable ring that has house keys. The two rings are attached with a small black S binder. It allows me to leave my house keys in the car when I am at work so there is less pocket bulk. The FreeKey is a little thicker than a standard split ring so I have 9mm split rings as spacers on anything that has a small attachment hole.

Something like this will last a long time:

I have carabiners, but never on me. They're for bondage, climbing, backpacking and whatever else. I do keep an S-clip on my purse at all times, though.

Another option.

Keep an eye out for hammock gear on Woot, they run some incredible bundle deals. I got a Yukon Outfitters hammock, bug net and rain fly for $30.

Get these hammock straps. I've been using them for several years; they are lightweight yet extremely durable. Totally worth $20.

I recommend these carabiners (comes in many different colors).

Non locking carabiner.

1 inch tubular webbing.

Tie a water knot to the biner. Wrap the webbing end over end holding it in place. Pack it in a surgical glove. Remeber to use a non locking biner. It's easier to manipulate.

You wedge the tool between the bottom and sides on a diagonal angle while hitching the biner. The biner does not attach directly to the too. Only the webbing.

I just took my work one to my volley house, and I'm planning on making a new one. I'll PM you a pic if you don't understand.

These

I purchased these as an upgrade to my eno doublenest. While there are probably better carabiners out there, there are few as strong and as lightweight for 7$.

edit- narfaniel beat me to it with these exact same ones.

Sure: Nite Ize S-Biner

Maybe use a duffel bag or better yet a tool bag from a hardware store?
Maybe use a big carabiner to bring them all together so they don't mish-mash and tangle with each other?

Maybe use a clothes hanging rod in the trunk up high and just pull what you need at each site off it?

I'm so glad that you shared this! Great idea. I turned around one of my curtains that has a white lining (it is held up by ring hooks with clips) and hung one of those large carbiners (like this https://www.amazon.com/FineGood-Carabiners-Extra-Large-Shopping-Accessories/dp/B073SV9W5D) over the rod. It works well for easily hooking a hanger through it is awkward if anyone comes over - I need to turn the curtain back around. A canvas like yours would be easy to store.

EDIT:

​

Hammock - 135

Hammock Rainfly - 140

Snake skin - 20

2QZQ - Mod 4 - 92

Atlas straps - 30

Carabiners - 14 (you need 2)

Omega Ring - 20 (you need 4 of them)

Dry compression - 45

​

None of this includes shipping or taxes. That being said, it's a great setup and I am not disappointed with how it performs. If you pick up an under quilt then this setup is unstoppable.

​

EDIT 2: The hammock includes the price for the original rainfly, I still have that and don't want it.

Get a nice giant carabiner and hook everything up.

Is this it?

Do you need the connections rigid? If not, just buy webbing ($0.52/ft) and girth hitch the webbing to the sled and buy a weight belt ($13)to attach it to with a water knot looped around the belt.

If you want to get fancier and need it rigid, then buy two carabiners ($6 x 2) we can do the following:

• Take a length of webbing 18in-24in longer than your poles
  2.Fold the last 3in of one end over
  

• Sew both outer edges of the folded regions. This should create a "cup" 3in wide.
  
• The end of the pole should fit in this cup.
  
• Clove Hitch the webbing to the connection point so that the majority of the webbing is leading away from the sled and the cup we sewed is trailing towards the sled.
  
• Place the pole in the cup.
  
• stretch the webbing the length of the pole.
  
• Roughly 6in from the top place a bite in the rope about 6in in circumference with an overhand knot.
  
• Stretch the webbing along the pole.
  
• Fold the excess the excess over the pole and sew it together.
  
• Now we should have a Pole capped on both ends with webbing that is clovehitched to the sled near one end with a bite near the top.
  
• Repeat with other Pole.
  
  Now for how to attach it to yourself. You are probably going to want to buy some cordellette ($8.50, but probably cheaper at a nearby outdoor store since you only need 3-4ft and its like $0.50/ft) for a prussik.
  
  
• Tie two slings with the cord about 18in in length
  
• Tie prussiks around the weight belt about where they rest on your hips.
  
• Connect the prussiks to the sled with the carabiners.
  
  The Prussiks should hold the cord on your hips with friction. In all it should cost around $40. You can probably find cheaper carabiners or quicklinks at a local hardware store also.
  

Gander Mtn has ENO Atlas Straps, but their climbing carabiner stock is nearly nonexistent. You may as well go to amazon for those.
Here's a good one,

Whatever you get, make sure they're good climbing rated ones. They're rated in KiloNewtons and 1KN is about 225 Ft-Lbs of force, this one is rated at 22 KN, so not quite 5K Ft-Lbs. Plenty strong for hammocking.

That is one I found, can't seem to locate ones that are for 20mm webbing but its all good.

Also can be bought for ~$8.

I cannot, the cage was hard to clean and far to small. It had to go. I'm currently saving up for the Ferret Nation cage! Here is a link to a clip the would work. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0022IMK7E/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2EG6QEDZDPFVD

This isn't much of a "life hack" since they sell large padded carabiners with padded handles exactly for this purpose. They're super-cheap too.

$350 is a good chunk of change to spend.

As far as wallets go, I just use an old leather business card holder so I won't be much help there.

I did quite a bit of research before getting my knife—weight, size, blade type, the way it opened, etc—before landing on the Ontario Rat II. But now I want a Benchmade. And a Kershaw. And a CRKT.

As far as carabiners go, I've used all types, but am currently using—and liking—the S-biner with the bottle opener.

Once I got a pocket flashlight, I caught myself using it daily (at night). That particular pocket light has some relief cuts that make it "self-defensy".

I try to keep it simple and functional, but it's all about how you're going to use it. Hell, you could spend $300 on a knife, $20 on a light, put $10 in your pocket and call it a day.

If OP is looking for the best deal, there might be some brands having a sale that also have plenty reviews from people who have used the gear on a site like amazon. Ultimately OP, or someone else, would have to google to find the current deals. So instead OP could just google "wiregate carabiners" or even "recommendations for wiregate carabiners". Reviews on sales sites are just as good as people on here, since gear doesn't change and they would have actually used the gear.

For instance, this is cheap, has a full 5 star rating after 400 reviews, which is almost unheard of. Don't need anything more than that.

Why don't climbing carabiners get any love here? I use a climbing carabiner like this one:

I spend a lot of time outdoors and have found an enormous use for a climbing weight rated carabiner. Mine is small and not as big as the big climbing ones and works great as a keychain. A cheap walmart carabiner wont hold more than 50 lbs usually and thats usually sufficient except when you wanna make sure something is definitely secure. Also learn the lighter trick as a bottle opener. Once you become the master of this everything becomes a bottle opener!

P.S. How do I convert my link to show up as whatever I want like the other guys here???

I'll start. I use a Nite Ize #3 for my main, and I attach small items (i.e. flashlight, knife) with Nite Ize #.5. I have had items come detached often but they always just fall in my pocket.

$5

I would get a large carabiner handle to carry all the grocery bags in 1. Example: Coghlan's Large Biner Carry Handle It makes the load so much easier and keeps everything together because you can twist them together. I have two to load distribute on both hands or over the shoulder. Also another tip is get some strong ripstop nylon reusable grocery bags. You can easily tuck them away in your pocket and use them as grocery basket to checkout without bulk or weight plus you can toss the in the wash. I do this all the time when i go on the metro train.

On the suspension question - It's fine, the slap straps are strong and do their job. The downside is that the loops on the slap straps are about every 6 inches, so it might be hard to get that "just right" hanging... I used the slap straps for my first year and I was fine, I'd focus on other aspects for the time being. One other quick point, if you are looking to cut weight down the carabiners that come with the ENO are steel and heavy, those are easily replaced. If you want to get into more weight cutting and more advanced suspension system I would look at the whoopie sling, that's what's en vouge right now, I just got my slings but have not had a chance to use them yet.

just like satty said, you're going to lose warmth rating due to compression on the sleeping bag. I find this true with down and synthetics alike. Unlike sleeping on the ground you're going to really feel the wind if it's cold and windy. I can vividly remember freezing through a 30 degree night in a 30 degree bag with no sleeping pad. Sleeping pads will help a lot, so would a UQ. I just saw the pea pod setup a month ago on here, and I'm dying to try it out, let us know how it works out!

a tarp or a rainfly, properly rigged, should keep rain out in 'normal weather'. that tent looking tarp you found looks cool, not sure exactly what it is... I know that some people rave about the warbonnet tarps, I bought a ENO tarp when I got my hammock, I wish I had gotten a warbonnet in hindsight, but the ENO works fine for me. It's nice to have the privacy as well as the wind guard, so I usually use the tarp even in good weather.

Enjoy the hammock and take some pictures for us!

For the money you spend on the camjam XT ($8.31 on amazon) you could spend 64 cents more and get something rated for 5000+lbs. The aluminum won't rust and won't shred your suspension faster because it doesn't have locking cam teeth.

Knots are fun.

Yeah, that's more along the line of what I was thinking, but moreso utilizing the hole of the controller. Like, say, using one of those extra large carabiners to just slot into the hole of the controllers.

Way overbuilt for keys, and way too expensive for what it's doing, in my opinion. I did, however, grab one of these at EMS when I saw they for about $7. I don't use it for keys, but it's light and sturdy enough for anything I could possibly need it for.

The #3 stainless steel Nite Ize S-biner has been my key carabiner for almost four years though with no issues.
