This will give you a square tree attachment instead of a triangle. It should be way more comfortable. It would look like the letter H instead of A on the tree.
Ok. I was thinking you wanted to have the safety of the tie into the saddle. I'm going to try a longer "dogbone" bridge with the prussic. A lot easier to "tie"/attach in the sewing process.Yes, I am trying to decide what to do. With a dogbone you could girth hitch one end or use a carabiner and you can secure the tag end as well.
Even if there is a soft spot in the middle I don't think it will be a problem. The prussic may just slide past that spot.
You could also disconnect one side and slide it through a tree squeeze to widen the attachment point to the tree. This would eliminate all hip pinch IMO> you could also use it that way to spur up if you use spurs. I was thinking it would make uncomfortable saddles more comfortable.

I am pondering your thought on the tree squeeze. That would really eliminate hip pinch.Yes that was my first thought
You were thinking correctly

Are the buries supposed to turn 180 degrees after the Brummel?
Man you saved my life with this made it super easy thanks !!Well, that was a bit of a bear, but I think i got it. Started out with a 42 inch piece of 3/16 amsteel. Continuous loop on the bridge loop (or d-ring in this case). Full bury back to middle. Then wrapped the amsteel around a thin diamerter knitting needle. 3 wraps each side and then twist it so the outside is on the inside. Repeat on other side. Shove 1/4 full length bury bridge through and done.
Decided to put this on my Wraptor since I do not wear it under the coveralls.
You better do a full bury. It gives the rope a core, that’s what the prusik grabs on toIm sorry if this has been answered, but i looked thru most of the thread and couldnt find an answer.
If im using 1/4 amsteel thats not full berried, will a loop of 3/16 amsteel work for the prusik? If so, how much 3/16 is needed to make a continuous loop that will work and not be to long?

I mean go ahead and try it if you wantThe 1/4 is pretty solid when under load. I understand the idea of the full bury giving it more to bite into, but i would think it would still bite into it without the full bury.
