Show us your harness

Here's mine:

Buckingham Deluxe Traverse, set up for mostly removals:
Left to right:
Steel core flipline, Petzl Micrograb
Kong Paddle carabiner, for hanging block, rigging line, etc.
Ring and ring F.S.
2 different F.S. retrieval balls, depending on which 1 I'm using
Micro pulley, 'biner and lanyard for making an adjustable length bridge, if body thrusting.
4 sets, sewn nylon loops and 'biners, for foot holds, small rigging, tool hanging, speedlining, redirects, etc.
Short auxiliary lanyard. Making a 15' CE type, but haven't finished yet.
(Lost my whistle, haven't replaced it yet)
Figure 8
Handsaw
Chainsaw on bungee tear-away lanyard, hanging on Kong Paddle carabiner
Gerber knife.

While I'll occasionally use the saddle in the bucket, I added the dorsal harness primarily as suspenders, just to keep things from heading "south".

i use it a lot with my lanyard steve. if i want to hang from two points that are in opposite sides of me, its just a little more comfy than running two connections points on the same bridge. for me anyway. it wont blow you mind with benefits, but its easy enough to try and get rid of if you dont like it.
 
Thanks. I felt like my bridge is at the perfect middle ground for ascent and work. I also put an addition ring on the bridge for another attachment but I can see where you're coming from.
 
I'm a minimalist climber so this is all that goes on my saddle for 99% of climbs. Plus handsaw on my leg, foot ascender, chest harness, and choice of chainsaw to finish the ensemble. HAAS gets thrown to ground.

I like it. It's heavy in a different kind of way. Instead of dragging around line that has weight, I have it all on my left flank. Sometimes I feel like it's bulky but most of the time I don't even notice it. It's really nice having all that line tended for you with the flick of a wrist. I've had small lanyards for a while now. I guess I have up using the steel core about a year ago but I still have a brand new one in my climbing bag. No mess, no fuss even when its covered with pine pitch. Its lasting pretty well. The loblolly pines play havoc on lanyards and that's what I climb A LOT. I'll probably get about a year out of it and then I'll have to dissect it and figure out how to replace the line. Don't be discouraged by the lanyard size. Its all preference. Everybody has these double lanyards now. I had one, not the same as the latest ones like JB's but I hardly ever used both sides and found managing all that excess line to be a cluster in the tree. To each their own. Give it a whirl, theres always treebay.
 
Ya,im using 11.7 tachyon now and im getting use to the smaller diameter I suppose,if it's quality and holds up i think im in. [emoji108]
 
i recently just got one of those RE MiniEights. seems like it would be great to have on the belt just incase, but i used it once from like 30' and it got SUPER hot. it may become just a redirect tool like Colemanjessenz was talking about. i like his idea and it would be seemingly the perfect size for it.
 
I use a dynamic line for my lanyard and always have to be super careful of running ropes , the other day I was working with a friend who is a very good climber and thought he didn't notice the rigging line run across his lanyard .....but.... he knew it was going to happen and as it was heat resistant hitch cord he wasn't to worried about the brief encounter with running rope ........ I can dig that, and although its not something i would recommend people to get complacent about , It does add a in a slight safety factor in respect to running lines when top rope rigging.

Been there, done that, with the 'rigging line-lanyard burn'. Just glad it wasn't a complete burn-through and that I had a secondary tie-in. Good to know about the heat resistant hitch cord. I've been wanting a thinner lanyard anyway. Any idea what he was using? HRC? Armor Prus?
 
My "2015" harness looks like this now. It is a Singing Rock Timber 2 harness

Under my left hand:

Here I store some carabiners for whatever I need them in a canopy, next to the back is an accessory ring on wich I usually clip my gloves if I need to take them off to tie a small knot or just use an iphone to take a picture, next is a small Caritool where I place rigging loops, redirect loop and other usefull stuff depending on situation, sometimes a handsaw, next (on the back) are my two small biners for a small bag with usefull goods, small water bottle or whatever (not installed).
In the upper middle part of my belt I place the First Aid kit.
Moving to the right:

Small folding razor sharp knife. next harness loop is commonly used to place my second lanyard(the longer one) and a chainsaw lanyard end, the right hand Caritool is used to held a chainsaw lanyard handle ring.
Sorry for my english;)
