Attaching nylon loops to saddle?

[matamorph]

Yes, just double it up toward carabiner, start wraps from biner down and stick the end through loop. then you can pull the wraps down as tight as you want to cinch it.

Right, got it! Yep, I do that

It always slips out if I don't.

I learned a way of racking loops from a rock climbing forum a long time ago. Sometimes I do use daisy chains though.

Lets see if I can describe the method.

Start by clipping the loop into a biner. Then half the loop, give it a twist and put the end in the biner. Now you'll have two, half-length loops on the biner.

Consider the biner end noon and hook your thumb through the two loops at six o'clock.

Give a couple of twists or so. Enough to tighten the half-loops.

Next, drop the 'eye' where your thumb is over the biner.

This whole works won't look as tidy as a daisy chain. It is easier to tie, is more compact and shorter than a daisy chained sling and falls apart easily.

I keep all my runners and redirect/canopy anchor stuff in this New Tribe bag, just reach in and grab when I need something. Leave the most frequently used on the top. I put a bit of cord across the top so stuff doesn't fall out when squeezing through tight spots. The bag installs nicely on the TM harness.

Yep! That's what I do...(if packing for space!) I admit... I noose if I have time!

But for on site quickness, daisy chain all day long!

+! You can keep the unneeded cord daisy chained by re clipping the last bite left

Thats interesting, for me the noose is allot quicker than a daisy chain.

I don't like putting rigging slings or loops across my body, over the shoulder then under the opposite armpit, like I've seen some do.

What have you found to be the most efficient way to attach a handful of slings to your saddle and minimize opportunities for them to snag on branches, etc.

I have been taking them, twisting them as a group as many times as I can, then using a carabiner to clip the two ends together, making a ball. This tends to make it a pain to separate them when needed.

I'm self taught, so I don't get to see other guy's methods

As others have already mentioned I also tie them into a daisy chain. Something else I do that helps me out is mark the size on them with a black marker in numerous places. I carry a few different lengths and this helps keep me from unraveling the wrong one.

Fold 'em. Knot 'em. Clip 'em.

I roll mine and then feed the end through the center a few times...kind of like a rope coil. They stay nice and tight and don't catch on much, but this method might not be super if you want to pile a ton of them on your sadle. I usually only have one or two on me...unless I know I will need more.

I like that method as well. Very tidy. I do the same. I don't have more than 3. If I need more, it usually means I'm going to be parked for a bit and will send down for a full rigging kit. I'm trying to get down to bare necessities and have a secondary bundle for bigger blocks etc. my saddle belt straps don't stay cinched if I have too much weight. Add a saw, a big block, and and some thimble slings, and my saddle k wants to drop to my ankles.

I've got that problem, too. I use suspenders to take some of the weight off the belt, because there is some magical, mysterious force that seems to want to push down on the front of the belt. It only started doing this in recent years, so I suspect it is a side effect of climate change. It's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Nice thing is, I've always got that device tending point and a few extra places to hang stuff. And my cell phone and handi-talkie where I can always get to them easily.

I've been using Boomslang's method lately, after being frustrated with everything else I've tried. Good balance of quick, easy and out of the way. I've started hanging them on the gear loops at the rear of the saddle, so when I'm scratching my ass trying to figure out what to do next, I can make it look like I was just rearranging my nylon loops.

My problem is no ass syndrome it is warm here year round - and when I'm not swinging around trimming bush, I'm on the ground laying pipe. Burn more calories than I can eat.

My next saddle will have suspenders and SRT advantage. The edge isn't what I'd hoped it to be.

A lady friend of mine shared an observation after attending a climbing comp with me.

She said, 'Tree climbers ain't go no butts!'

I asked if that was an OK thing?

'Ohhhhh...yes!!!' Was her reply

 

[JeffGu]

It's a chemical deficiency, I tell them. No acetol.

 

[Drewtree]

It's quality, not quantity.

 

[muesli]

I daisy chain everything!!!

Really? Everything? Doesn't that hurt?

Everything!

Start with the sling hanging off the biner.

Spin the bottom of the sling several times, and clip the bottom of the sling to the biner.

Done.

To un-wrap, just unclip either end, everything falls out.

That's how I've been doing it, and they aren't tidy or snag free enough.
