Carabiners
Carabiners are used for a number of purposes. TCI recommends triple action auto-locking carabiners for main tie-ins to your saddle, where your weight is being supported. A triple-locking carabiner requires you to make three distinct moves to open the gate, and provides superior safety that a conventional twist-locking carabiner doesn't have.

Dog leg carabiners and other non-locking carabiners are great for hanging gear off your harness. But the gates can open without warning. Don't use them for life support!
