DMM Harness

I have a single on my MB. I only need three daisies to "chain it" up. Leaves the end at the middle of my thigh.
I only go full length bridge to make it easier putting saddle on and off. Helps with my old injuries.

I used to have an open/closed saddle bridge setup so I didn’t have to step in at all. Just stand with both feet flat on the ground and throw it around your waist, connect the leg loops and bridge and off you go. It was a very long time ago with a cougar while I was waiting for the bridge recall to come through.

I had the same going on with my original MC rope saddle. I was using a non swiveling ART rope grab and a forged quickie shackle. The trouble was the ART was in the field of the bridge. I ended up not liking that and I restored the bridge to original. I think I had a thread on it ......

Great price and not only that, the Vaults and other bits and pieces are on Sale too! Sale is advertised until June 29, 2024 so if you're in the market anyway . . . . Cheers all and stay safe out there

Addenda: I'm in no way affiliated with the vendor or get discounts or anything but just thought a heads up would be nice, for someone that may have missed this and be in the market anyway.

The price did give me pause however my old Petzl Sequoia gave me motivation last week to look for a new harness - my right leg loop on it came undone in the tree for the third time in four or five months. The little yellow nibs on the buckle somehow let the metal loop pop out. I could only duplicate it manually part way(one side of the catch) but in use was a different story. This was a problem with Petzl buckles many years ago (I saw it on ArbTalk I think it was) but I guess the yellow plastic nubbies eventually wear. I find I either trust something or I don’t, esp harness etc. So I was suddenly in the market (most of my work is in an MB ver 1.00 - great harness)! Anyway we’ll see how it works out. Appreciate all the harness beta on TreeBuzz from everybody. Cheers.
 
Just a question. Has anyone tried to shorten the bridge under load? How's that work out? Been doing a bunch of AR Training lately and teaching spar rescue. With the long bridges, I've been putting a prussic between the suspension d's for a connection point to get them up out of the flipline with MA if necessary. Being able to shorten that bridge would be a great option if you could do it, I suppose it would necessitate you being on the side of the adjustment for the injured climber. Thoughts or observations?

I can shorten mine (Mumford's RollnLock mod) under load by putting a prussic on the tail right above the termination knot and then the end of my long lanyard tail onto the prussic, and the lanyard in my foot ascender and standing up on it, to pull the bridge rope thru and also relieve some of my weight on it. Not very intuitive or something I have done more than once or twice, but it did work a few times.
