[at-l] bear bag hooks?

[Jack.Bulkley at sas.com (Jack Bulkley)]

As many others do, I don't tie to a rock. Instead I have a small bag on the end of the rope. Put a rock in it, cinch it up, and start throwing. My bag was originally for sun glasses which is a good size.

I use carabiner for this.  It weighs 1.8 ounces, which is kind of a lot, and I'm considering ditching it.

It's easier to do and undo than tying a knot in the cord to my stuff sack, and, most importantly, it makes i much easier to hurl the cord over a branch.

I know, I should tie it to a rock, but I've generally found that harder to do than it sounds.
