Last one.

I'll have more pictures soon as well as starting a new thread on how the saddle functions compared to other ones.

Why does Tim carry so much stuff on his harness? That's probably why he's so much tougher than me.

The judo may also have something to do with it.

 

[chris_girard]

I'm sure he has a use for all of it and yes his martial arts training definitely helps him.

I've seen him get into some really tough working positions that call for good flexibility.

I'd like to know how the people who've been using the new bry-dan like it?

Along with my TreeFlex, I think the Bry-Dan is an excellent saddle.

For SRT though, the TF can't be beat.

You answered my question

A new harness may be in my future and I considered the B/D. But, if the TF is better for SRT then I'll stick with it.

The Bry-Dan works great with the Wraptor. FYI

It also works great with the rope walker system. FYI

The recent changes in the saddle design are working out just fine. I understand some folks would like to see some additional changes to the buckle system for the wasit belt and I know that Mr.Blair is working on this and it may take some time to get it right.

I started climbing in a Bry-Dan and love it. I have changed companies since then and could not take my Bry-Dan with me but man was it great. I loved the shoulder straps, I could hang upside down and basically limb walk the bottom of these Valley oak branches so that i could really get to the ends... awesome.
I also thought it nice to have the straps for the fact of all the weight of saw, gear, etc. pulling down on my harness. With my current Buckingham saddle it becomes an issue sometimes with all that weight on it. The smaller side D's sound great too. Sometimes while finishing a cut, I hit my elbow right on it.
But I would recommend that saddle for everyday use all the way! Thank you Ed.

try again. sorry

 

[chris_girard]

Still one of the best saddles out there, that not a lot of people know about.

Here is me in my Bry-Dan 2 from this past summer.

 

[chris_girard]

The TreeFlex and the Bry-Dan are my all-time favorite saddles.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Nice to hear the voices from old threads

 

[chris_girard]

I was thinking the same thing, Tom. I spoke with Don Blair yesterday and I am about to call Robert Phillips here in a few minutes. Both of them are a wealth of knowledge.

Lotta great history pictured here. Very cool. As saddles go through another round of change in standards, I wonder what’s been lost more than ever.
