Default Bed Hooks Instead of Loops - Use Carabiners (with Pictures)

Hi,

Loops are lame because they require you to thread the entire length of rope through the loop, which is a particular pain when using a truckers hitch.

This method, using carabiners is a very simple solution. Adding 2-5 links of chain between the carabiners and the extra link would make this more convenient.
