    Gear and Advice for a top-heavy climber

    A saddle with a dedicated srt attachment helps too it usually shifts your center of gravity so you're more vertical. It's not perfect, but it helps. So does doing it, form and technique go a long way, but nothing substitutes for being in practiced climbing shape 325lbs before gear and I get off...

    Best full body conversion harness, ANSI bucket compliant

    Not sure exactly, I have a tree access evo... but three general idea wasd that under 24 inches is fall restrain (meaning it's basically impossible to fall out of the bucket with it attached) and fall arrest with the deceleration lanyard attached (dorsal or sternal) the key piece being either...

    Best full body conversion harness, ANSI bucket compliant

    The tree access evo I have had a round bridge... also I swapped out the shackles for petzl open rings, added a second bridge and never looked back. Also I found the shoulder straps more comfortable than the Buckingham equivalent. As to bucket fall arrest rating, in discussing with dr. John...

Haven't given it a whirl yet... the srt esq picture I was trying to fit a cmi pulley with an offset pulley (poor man's wrench) in trying to make a cordage based hitch hiker.. more of a thought study...

    UK. Two ropes at all times(USA next?)

    I wonder if something like TRT that johnny pro was working on would work? where its two ropes, sort of isolated and run through the same device (i think in this case it was a rope runner) side by side. Add a shunt or a twin rope ascender above as a back up and the spirit of the rule would still...

    Harken Power seat

    Looks like a ride on wraptor... would be neat to set it in use, but I think it's a bit on the slower side than a wraptor and if anything the wraptor could use a bit more speed

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Looks good! Is the purpose of the tape just to keep things together pre stitching? Or is there some other alignment/ measuring thing going on? Looking forward to the video, it can even be really long, I'll probably watch all of it anyways

    Sequoia SRT vs. Sequoia and ZigZag ?

    The point of the srt attachment is less slip in the system as your ascending, so there is less sit back and in some setups no need for an extra hitch tender... also they usually shift your center of gravity slightly so you hang in a more vertical orientation making rope walking easier @moss...

    SRT Aerial Rescue

    Why not climb the tail of the victims line? It'll get you there easiest and safest, then transfer to your own independent system for decent Should probably add that setting your own independent system from the ground first would be best
