Backup Prussik connection

[Tribesc]

I’ve been practicing different things on my prototype saddle while waiting on supplies for my final design , was wondering what yalls thoughts on this type of soft webbing loop on the main belt as a connection to
A backup Prussik on my tether. I’ve seen this type of connection used on riggers belts.

Really like it. Can also be used in different applications while climbing. See @boyne bowhunter video for modified Cain's method of climbing.

That's a good idea. May have to implement this in my next build.

Instead of the cobra buckle I am incorporating a petzl harness into my saddle the buckle is to one side and has the hoop for connection in the middle,regards wayne

I dig this. I’d add it to a commercial saddle if I could sew...

What!!! You're adding a belaying loop to your saddle? The natives are going to love this.

Just like every RCH should have linesman loops, all saddles should have this. Good job.

I built it in to my new saddle, I’m very happy with it, move easy back up connection. I think it’s worth the effort. Thanks for all of your comments!

I think it’s a cool addition but I don’t think I’d want to be hanging from a buckle. Maybe a more tradition RCH closure would be better?

I've been seeing pictures on instagram! Lets see the finished project man!

Yes. That's what I thought. RCH buckles are not quick detach for the very reason they shouldn't be quick detach.

Here is a bypass I tied to get around the plastic buckle. A Dyneema sling looped through the belt webbing tied in a square knot and a half and then clipped through a caribiner. The buckle does not come apart unless the sling is removed. The belt is riveted and sewn at the one point, it looks solid but I look at that as the weak point.

I can definitely see that , in this case it’s a back up for my bridge connection to my tether, a place to clip the tail of my tether with a figure 8 or an additional friction hitch.

How secure are those buckles? Several reviews on Amazon where people complained the buckle detached when they bent over.

 

[Tribesc]

My experience is they are very secure, that’s an astrialpine cobra buckle, I’ve never seen spontaneously open up.
