Ring mod on kestrel

[Steve]

Is anyone planning to do the Ernie ring mod on the Kestrel and install a ropeman one for an adjustable Bridge?

I decided I didn't need an adjustable bridge once I figured out a good length. For a while I used a short bridge while climbing or rappelling but it isn't needed. Just another piece of clutter

Another thing...carabiner on one side of the bridge makes
It easier to put the saddle on

A Ropeman is GOLD on linesmans belt. Wasted on a bridge....a prusik does fine there if you want to experiment

I don't know if this counts, but I'll be doing it.....

I was just thinking out loud and was curious

Gold rings are the best. Will be using it also.

Once the kestrel arrives I plan to splice an eye to the right side of the saddle and leave the blakes hitch but swap in one of my ultralight carabiners ( 5k plus lbs life rated with locking gate ) Same for the tree strap. That will clean up the knots, weigh less and not have any metal to metal contact.
