karabinas.

[Asa Samuel]

Hi, can anyone recommend somewhere to get some not-too-expensive karabinas?

I am looking for some for a hammock mod so they need to be able to take my bodyweight.

Thanks,
Asa.

Decathlon do a small sling with 2 karabiners for about £6...

I don't think there are any decathlons in Cornwall.

Look for a quickdraw set Asa, it's two crabs joined together by a short length of webbing. You can pick them up in most climbing shops and and won't cost much more than buying a single crab on it's own. You can get some decent climbing gear on fleabay as well, just check the KN rating first though, something around 25KN will do you fine.

I use these ....

DMM Zodiac 32Kn screwgate, just to be on the safe side. And made in Wales to boot. If it's good enough for NASA then it'll do the job for your hammock.

I don't really have anything I'm afraid, my kit is pretty minimal at the moment. Plus endicotts is supplying me some extra strong paracord and I don't want to turn away from the deal. Thanks a lot for the offer though

I've bought the DMM Tru Screw and Pro Wire karabiner's at Field & Trek and found them to be really good. F & T had the best prices too. Also have a couple of of titanium locking gate karabiner's which are tiny and soooo light, though I don't recall the brand, nor the capacity.
