Webbing hardware

So I've yet to hang from a tree but I'm still enamored with the idea of both a saddle and sleeping up high. The sleeping up high continues to take up alot of my thoughts during the day. I can't help but to think about how cool it would be to wake up already in the tree without having to stumble through the dark. Anyways, I noticed that in a demo video for the Treeboat that the hardware being used was what looked to be a triglide with an sliding bar. I've scoured the internet but am yet to find a piece of hardware that gives a weight load rating for a piece of hardware like that. I don't want to buy something and assume that just because it's metal it'll be safe. I'm also curious if there is any manufacture who makes something like a triglide but with 2 slider bars so that a fella could connect two strap ends to a single piece of hardware. If not I've figured out how to get it done with to single slider pieces. Either way, I'm getting closer to sleeping with the birds. I even found a few stands of trees where I can do a hammock style setup versus a single point.

Oh! Side question, do you guys think 1" webbing is strong enough to do a bridge hammock/boat from or should I bump up in size?

Whatever you do just don't roll over in your sleep @ 25 ft up...
LOL! Right. Who needs coffee when you can just get a quick adrenaline rush. To be honest I'm not worried about rolling over so much as having a bad tie off somewhere. The more I research it the more excited I am to do it.

Try googling austrialpin triglides or go to their site. I have got a few aluminum triglides with weight ratings.
