Lets see your harness......

[SouthSoundTree]

I"ll carry some extra stuff, but nothing too much. And extra couple slings and biners, hand saw, chainsaw, bloodstopper, hitch cord and pulley. A bit more on occasion as the tree dictates, like a BMS Belay Spool. A bit of gear is only a small percent of my body weight, plus clothes, shoes/ boots, helmet, so I don't think its a big deal. Its more work sometimes to haul up a 8-10 pound rope repeatedly to heights with my arms than carry a little more on the go, propelled by legs. Often only having one groundie, its better to keep him focused and working clearing the DZ than running to the truck and digging for something I could have foreseen needing. I am often waiting on the ground crew, whether I have one or multiple groundies, as it is.

Why the pearlink AND the swivel snap on the end of the lanyard? Just extra weight for throwing?

Nick Bonner, your camera stinks!!! Why is it all green?!

Weight and I like the bend radius better

No OSHA in Tasmania...

Health and Safety in Tasmania, I'd have to wear a fall arrest in a lift.
I was talking about Bermuda...I chose to wear PPE, regardless what the guy next to me is doing.

No worries, hard to keep track of which side of the planet I'm on!

IN Tas I wear an Edelrid Tree Magic, with the same bits, 2 spare biners, 2 loop runners, 14' lanyard and zubat/felcos in a weaver scabbard plus the first aid kit.

I rock a liger converted weaver cougar, I think there's pic's on Nicks thread about the conversion. Of course a bleed pack, cari tools, and some other gear depending on the job and what were doing.

I can't play videos, drip feed dialup, slow computer and need to download some player thingy...give me the short version!

 

[MasterBlaster]

There is no short virgin.

Is high speed cable available anywhere there?

Sorry Fiona, I forgot. Essentially, it involves replacing the stock Weaver Cougar bridge with a pair of CT rigging plates and a rope bridge.

Ta...

Sure butch, plenty of broadband, DSL wireless, 4G...but what you gotta pay...make your eyes pop out.

And I'm sure your typo was a typo right...(hehe)

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ha!

Fiona,

Here is the thread on the conversion to my Cougar:

https://www.masterblasterhome.com/s...er-Weaver-Cougar-Modification&highlight=liger

I have some issues with the way the plates are configured in that video as outlined in the first few posts of the thread shown with pictures.

I really like the CT rigging plates and the conversion could be done to almost any rope bridge style leg strap harness.

Sorry, link's not working...

Sorry I fixed it here it is.

... that coversion thing kinda ends up looking alot like my Buckingham Puma ... special ordered mine with steel Dees. Always wanted a short rope bridge saddle. Just an opinion but I believe Buck does a better job on materials and manufacture.

The Puma, http://www.sherrilltree.com/Profess...ng-saddles-harness/Puma-Harness-by-Buckingham , looks just like a cougar or a glide.

Maybe you are thinking of the ergovation?

... too much bridge resulting in shorter pulls ascending was a problem ... the highly adjustable Puma really is a step up ... though not perfect it still stacks up as a great improvement over my first two saddles... also I base my opinion on Weaver vs. Buck on W's equine products as well, it just seems Buck will last longer
