I decided to make another saddle. For this one I incorporated some changes from my last saddle. I guess if I were smart(er) I would have referenced the NT suggestions thread first because I'm sure that there are some great recommendations in that thread. My saddle is my representation of their seemingly great product.

Here is a picture of the pouch that I made for my lineman's belt. I've sewn a molle-type attachment point to it. I like keeping all 'safety' related things red, thus the red webbing.

Here is a closer look at the bridge hook up strap, it is also where my lineman's belt connects to .

I'm going to use this for the rest of the season and give it an honest chance. I'll adjust the bridge length, hook up height, and about everything else I can try to figure out how to make it comfortable for sits longer than 4 hours. That has been my limit with my former soft saddles that I've made.
I'm thinking that I need a Ropeman 1 or a Kong -- are ascenders THAT much better than a prussic?
