    First DIY Saddle

    If I'm reading correctly you're talking about the overlap of the seat belt webbing on the bottom and asking about why I didn't do that for the top portion? If so, it's because the seat belt webbing is one long piece that starts on the bottom and goes all around the saddle body, so there is no...

    First DIY Saddle

    Thank you for all of the suggestions, I really appreciate the feedback. Your Orion was a huge inspiration for me throughout this build. I will definitely add more stitching to the areas you suggested. I originally had planned to put my lineman's loops and molle centered on the top suspension...

    First DIY Saddle

    Correct on the overlap numbers. Thanks for all the feedback! I currently have a Sailrite LSZ and it's awesome, but looking to add their Fabricator model in the future so I can start to use the even larger thread sizes. Nothing wrong with overkill, especially when your life depends on it! -Zach

    First DIY Saddle

    Thanks! Building something that is "live saving" is definitely a bit more nerve racking but overall I really enjoyed the process. Do you have a build thread for your saddle? -Zach

    First DIY Saddle

    @Fl Canopy Stalker Hey thanks for the feedback! I posted it on here for more experienced builders like yourself to "poke holes" in the design before deciding whether or not to use it. All feedback is greatly appreciated. I'll try to answer all of your questions in an organized way. - I am using...

    First DIY Saddle

    Just finished up my first DIY saddle build. I took a lot of ideas from other builds on here. This site is awesome for that! It has a 3” pleat built into it. Haven’t had time to sit in it, and its raining here, but hopefully will get some time soon. If anyone has any feedback on the stitching as...

    First Knaider/Swaider

    I just finished up my first set of knaider/swaiders. This was my first time making anything that will be holding my weight/life saving equipment. Tested it out at ground level and feels super solid. Posting pics here to see if the guys who make a lot of weight bearing equipment saw anything that...

    A little show and tell

    I could be wrong but it looks like Type 7 Nylon webbing to me. Pretty popular with harness builds and believe it has around 6000lb breaking strength

    A little show and tell

    Thank you! I can’t bring myself to pay so much for gaiters when I have a nice sewing machine and a lot of cordura laying around

    DIY Saddle Pleat Help

    Awesome Build on that saddle! And thanks, that does help out. I wont be using the spacer mesh so hopefully I wont run into binding attachment issues regarding the thickness of material.

    DIY Saddle Pleat Help

    Hey all, I've decided to try my hand at a DIY saddle this year and am thinking I would like it to be mesh with a pleat. I've read through a lot of threads on here and searched but haven't seen any clear tips/instructions on how to do a pleat. It doesn't seem difficult and I'm sure I am nuking...

    A little show and tell

    @Sziggy2.0 I just found this thread, awesome looking work! Do you happen to have the pattern for those gaiters you made? Or more pictures? I'm in the process of trying to make my own but not sure where to start.

    DIY Field Quiver

    You mean for adding the magnet? I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering how much wear the magnet would induce on the liner once it got pinched between the magnet and point
