Ok, so nutterbuster got me interested in his setup...

I went and got 100' of black rescue flat webbing that is rated for 6000 lbs breaking strength (26.6kN) and 50' of orange flat rescue webbing. I now have two of the https://austrialpin.net/product/ansi-cobraframe-release-d-ring/ that is rated for 18kN and two of the https://austrialpin.net/product/ansi-cobraframe-d-ring/ rated the same as the first one.

My carabiners are the Grivel https://www.backcountry.com/grivel-...uZXJzOjE6NDoxMDAwMDAwMTBfYmMtY2FyYWJpbmVycw== that is rated for 30kN.

I made one bridge out of 4000 lb tubular webbing and the others from my orange and black stock. I went to an upholstery shop and had them sew the loops together with thread that is rated for 125lb per stich.

What do you all think...I've already tested it out at 4 feet and 18 feet and it is great. At 18' I did have a back up of my rope tether as I wanted to make sure.

I Have determined that there are a lot more options to this style than I have cash.

Until I can say " if I'd had X I would have killed that massive buck or I would not have fallen" i am good for a bit. Safety is checked, comfort is checked, so I am good until the next idea hits these pages

What you have is probably strong enough, but without a more scientifc way to break test I might have been inclined to have two of the stitch patterns on each loop instead of one. Other than that the tubular webbing is excellent and has many applications as you've demonstrated.
 
Kong Duck takes something like 3/4" webbing, a bit low on the weight rating for lots of folks, myself included.
 
Hhmmmm! may need to rethink my options. Didn't realize how much weight my ropes actually were until i hiked a good ways. plus ropes don't pack very well.
