Good day,
I'm looking at different designs from top makers and the DIYers, it seem like the general designs have a lineman's loop attachment point and a bridges attachment point. Very new to the game, can anyone explain why not just have one seaction to attach for both? Why cant I hook the bridge to the same loop to the one dedicated to linemans?
One of the principle that I hear alot about is having a 'system' that you perfect and repeat every time you climb. That you have one lineman rope is a pouch that you always know where it is, another tether rope in another pouch. I understand having 2 ropes because its safer, but if you are trying to be minimalist, why not use one attachment point system? For that matter.....I have an extra lineman ropes that I use to get around branches, why cant I use either one as a bridge?
I have not been in a production model saddle so maybe some aspect elluded me, right now i'm a sit-drag/RCH guy and I connect my lineman's in the same loop as the one I tethered to the tree. Can anyone please enlighten me before I start building my own saddle? Thank you and good hunting.
P.S.
I may also be referring to "connection points" the section of the saddle that you attach the ropes. Why do you need 2 seperates area instead of one primary point.
