Survival Purpose
We keep a few light weight carabiners on the loops on our packs. We attach hats and other light gear we might need quick access to. I've seen compasses, sunscreen tubes, glow sticks, canteens, toilet paper, etc dangling on the outside of packs.
What We Like
- Sturdy but Light Weight - carabiners can hold a lot of weight typically
- Easy Attachment - unlock, open the gate, loop through the item and close the gate - quick and easy
- Locking - the simple locks keep the gate from getting bumped open
Tips and Recommendations
- Drop Damage - if you drop one, check it for fractures
- Climbing - if you use this for climbing, make sure you are trained appropriately. Verify the UIAA certification before trusting the vendor
