Yeah the waist and leg pads are from an old buckingham empire saddle. My first one was all dyi but the leg pads weren't firm enough and waist belt really dug into my ribs
Rope is coreless 16 strand.
Color coded to show the 3 main parts.
Most comfortable setup yet.
Fig 8 for connection point around waist and leg pad lengths
I did own one of the first models for a while and sold it to try a roperunner. I would gladly buy it back from the person I sold it to or whoever owns it! U can feel resistance when sap gets on ur rope but it's 10 times better than a hitch.
hitch and a pulley will always out weigh a zigzag, reliable (doesn't crack), last 10 times longer, can sideload, midline attachable, 1/5th the price, and its gear you already have. Just some things to think about. other creations out there are far superior.

Couldn't this be used to splice kern mantles that have parallel core strands?? Such as HTP, KMIII, etc.
