Biner, Snap or Knot?

Or got their boats tied up nice and tight for the storm...

Or the kids found it and set up one hell of a zip line out in the woods , so I would venture to say that someone left the bag on the side of the truck or up top on the headache rack, it happens , I lost a few 200ts up there one almost whacked a public transit bus when it fell at a light...

Oh I know where it was...in the bucket on top of the saws, the bucket is a cage type with bars, unfortunately I was in front driving the dump truck.

I have a steel biner in the end of my 9/16 bull rope...

Either I use a 1 ton polyester round sling (the slings are those nice fat soft ones, polyester core with a cover, they have no sharp edges) and clip the biner to it...or...tie the half hitch/clove hitch and the biner finishes the knot...clipped.

That is, until Saturday when my rigging kit fell off the bucket truck (I didn't load it) bye bye, 200' of 9/16, two steel biners, two 1 ton round slings, 1- 6" cmi pulley and two log tongs...

I had around $2k of rigging stuff disappear off my truck last year. The previous job it was used on every one assured me it went onto the truck, I trust the entire crew. There were a couple jobsites that had construction on or near. I coulda left the box unlocked
