Show us your harness

A weak dollar and pricey shipping keeps me at bay, otherwise I'd be in serious trouble.

I remember when our dollar was near parity I wouldn't think twice about dropping a few hundo a month at TreeStuff.com
 
You guys know you can get free shipping with under $100 order right?

Right, but then you can't apply any other code. I always order over $100 to get the free shipping and then either the ARBORIST code for 5%, the ONLINE code for 7%, or the code only ISA Members know to get 10%. But I believe you can use either the FREESHIP *or* a discount code...not both. Sweet deal if you order over $100 though. Thanks TreeStuff!

But excuse me for side tracking this thread. I want to see more harnesses and gear so I know what I should buy next! :D
 
Not my daily setup, just wanted to show off my first attempt at a homemade positioning lanyard. I broke a good chunk off my rigging rope and this helped me take the sting out of that loss. Screwgates have since been replaced with double action snaps and an ultra O.

Being a chunky rope it's a bit heavy at '15. but hey.. my chicken legs need the extra workout.

View attachment 33101 Ok, two bridges (platinum) with RE swivels, main one backed up with some cordage, and set for adjustability with a ct roll n lock. Secondary has a swivel that is captured to one side with a shackle, to be deployed when needed

-Knife and 8 oz. throwbag on left side.
-biner and strap for redirects or foot holds
-Prussic w/ ring for redirects and branch bypass
-Runner and bone. One goes on the rope, other for back up. Pretty much every climb
-steel biner for cinching anchor on a spar, and using a bite to lower myself away from a redirect point. And all other biner uses.
-first aid
-drayer lanyard
-two ended lanyard. Never leave the ground with out it. I use both ends nearly every climb. Front end is on the lower "d's" and has a chafe sleeve. Back end is on the upper d's. Mostly use front end. Back end will be used in tight quarters or small diameters, as the chafe sleep only allows the front end to get so short. I do a lot of "ladder" climbing up limbs with these keeping me secured.

All on a new tribe onyx. Which is such a great harness. It is light enough that I can carry all the crap I want and not feel like I am carrying bricks.
How do you keep your CT Rocknroll fastened to your bridge paw?
 
Did you know they now make stainless steel zip-ties? Just saw them at the hardware store the other week for the first time. Don't know if they'd work in your situation, but definitely one of those handy ideas to file away in the head.

Those would scare me only because they are sharper than my bridge and the Aluminum plates.
 
Kind of embarrassed showing mine with all it's newbie-newness compared to all the cool broken in ones here. But here it is, still working on it, nothing special, you've seen it all before, probably because most of the ideas I get from you guys. Never thought I'd get excited or have fun outfitting a harness but it reminds me of my track bike with all it's high performance "race" gear on it, and trying to get it "dialed" in just right.

Just reglo Chesnut Oak, check, check, White and Red Oaks (no Post), no Water Oak, and check. You missed one more TL...

Thought those leaves shaped like a water droplet were Q nigras? Missed one - sweet gum?
Just a straight up chestnut oak huh. Don't think we have 'em here. Tons of the swamp chestnuts though.
