Hammock Suspension Strap

Background to this project:

Being the cheapskate that I am, I'm always on the lookout for things that would be useful but I can make rather than buy.
I was browsing through online patents and found a really complicated suspension
strap made from one piece with the extra loops cut from other pieces and stitched in place (see the patent drawing)
I thought there has got to be a easier way, and came up with this...

Step 1 Whats Needed

Whats needed
1.2 meters 20mm webbing (any colour, I just had khaki kicking around here)
1 D shackle screw gate caribiner (another would be useful, but not essential)
sewing machine
lighter or soldering iron (for cutting the webbing and heat sealing it)
Knife (you could use scissors but I'm pretty attached to using the knife for trimming threads)
electrical tape (used to hold everything in place before stitching it)

I do something like this when I go camping/backpacking except without the heavy carabiners. Nice instructable

Normally I use Homemade webbing slings to attach my hammocks. but they tend to stay semi-permantly in place. (ie, have the slings made and setup for each location, and just move the hamock as I feel like it)
