That's my home office attire! Shorts are a 300+ day a year thing for me!

I know you've done some cool things around sit drags. I tried one and never liked it. This feels way better to me. Would love to see you apply your skills and make it even better!@Bwhana can you post a pic or vid of it in use? How is the comfort?
Interested in how you attach the waist belt. Liking the idea of using the same rings for your linesman hook up. Great thread, thanks for sharing!It is close to the original width at 36" end to end of each web loop. The rings will be about 10" or so apart when the belt is attached. I pulled them together thinking about that today. Not as far apart as a Mantis or Kestrel, but usable.

Yours was one of the pics I stumbled across while researching making mine in February and gave inspiration to do this, thanks! I was going to reference it but had trouble finding it again. I looked at those Petzl rings but went with solid since they were cheaper and could be sewn in while making it. That allowed me to cut weight and use the rings for everything vs having the oval rings plus the rounds. Nothing revolutionary in mine, just trying to document the process, materials, and measurements for anyone wanting their own. If a computer geek like me can do this, anyone can.Likebit!

That is correct. Stupid simple, yet safe design. I just wasn't willing to pay $150 for an antique version and wanted the experience of making one. It buys me time to see what the new commercial options are and not be in rush to get one. The way this is going, I may not want one!

Congrats on that treesuit! I saw it as soon as he put it up and almost sent a PM 10x to buy it! I had this project underway so I held off, but that was a great deal. If you use my measurements, you will notice the 10" overlaps. It was not on the original Anderson's, but I thought it added more stitching area and made it even safer. The other thing is that if I make another, I may make the top loop an inch or half inch shorter than the bottom so it would fit even better up higher on the lower back, but not a problem as is. Post pics!You got me. Materials ordered, looks great! Also ordered some additional webbing to make a bridge for the tree suit I got from @Vtbow. With all the great ideas here think I am up to about a dozen different systems now.....
