Bill - since you brought this up I have been trying out the rolling hitch on my chain. I have only used it 4nights so far, and it hasn't blown more than 25kts, but it seems to work great too, and hasn't come untied yet....

I tie it as a riggers hitch, where the no-slip turns are taken OVER the load part, but I need more testing to prove this better than a hook. its certainly cheaper though !
