The latest Matt Cornell harness

[evo]

I was a little disappointed that the Buckle and waste band is sewn into the back pad. I want to mess around with a few of my own ideas, but this would require some sort of buckle belt independent from the pad.

I should be good then. A couple inches bigger on the waist but a bit more ass haha

Ended up changing cordage for the Valiant. I went with Samson's 10mm XLS3 (6300lbs), black whipping, and ISC rings. This all poly rope is super tough, super strong, easy to splice, and a true 10mm. I love the finished product and highly recommend the XLS3 for these rope saddles. Finished up my day on the front porch splicing up the leg pads. I will get the rest done this weekend and post a pic of my new rig. Pretty excited about this one!

I like that black against the leather. Looks damn good so far Eric

Thanks Treebilly. Black always looks good, plus its slimming....

I found black DMM rings, but the black and silver look sharp.

Beautiful setup treegongfu. Where did you find black DMM rings?

The dyneema core of the Warpspeed is very slippery and very few knots will not slip, and can it can slide out of the cover right out of the knot. The Polamar, Water Bowline, Figure 8 on a bight, and the Estar are the ones I’ve seen hold, but all broke at about fifty percent of the rope’s break strength. No problem with the 10 mm line for a harness.

Your scrawny ass don't need to look any slimmer... Unless if you want to go Sasquatch hunting, you can just turn sideways to hide

I think we should use him for bait.

I got it from mapleleaf ropes. He said it was from DMM's tactical division.

If I sew the ends do you think that will take care of that issue?

Wreaked a Fir this morning then finished splicing the suspension for the Valiant. She is strung up and after a little fine tuning she should be GTG..

Hey, @rico, this thread is for the saddle, it’s not a gun show- cover that cannon up with sumthin!

I just thought he was a hybrid

That’s an excellent solution, the Estar is the only cinching hitch of the group, a Buntline that goes around the object being tied to and then back through the clove hitch portion.
