He's way more credible on scent control than saddle safety
On the latter point, he probably weighs 100lb less than me so I've never legitimized a comparative thought. He is the first I had heard mention saddles are safer...quite awhile ago. Accessibility has really blown up recently, so, for good or bad, we'll learn a bit more soon enough.
if i remember, how not to highline on youtube (and some others), tested old climbing ropes....and if i recall they did lose strength, but were still strong
something to look up for this discussion, i can't see how a climbing rope can lose strength but webbing doesn't.....rope has more internal 'stuff', so my naive thought is that rope would lose strength slower than webbing as it is more self-protective.....but i could be full of it
