: If that's the case, I could just loop the webbing and skip the actual
: D-Ring... at least inside the hatches. That would certainly be lighter,
: just as easy, and a lot cheaper.

Sure.

: For the security ring, I'd want to do something that a pocket knife couldn't
: cut through, which means the webbing would have to be totally under the
: expoxy, as you stated. If I was careful, I could rig it up good and
: strong, but still allow the ring to move reasonably freely.

Another idea would be to make a form for the loop out of ~1/8" steel wire and slip it into a piece of tubular webbing, then epoxy it in place. It would be strong, light and cut resistant.
