Been done for a while and ready to hunt. Built one for Kelvin, Barry, and myself. Post 91 shows Kelvin in the tree with both tether and linesman attached to the rings. Kept it very simple with just a 2" quick detach plastic belt buckle. I am going to remove my belt and use a custom length bungie cord between the rings to hold it in place walking and climbing. To address the issue some mentioned about the bottom loop flopping around while walking, I just clip it to the top loop with a huge paper clip, like the ones I used to hold it together to be sewn. It feels just like an Anderson for a little under $60!
I like those rings, I would have used them if I had not already bought the round ones. Also, good thinking on making the lengths different- should be a helpful tip for others.
Looks good! I know others have also said that about the webbing, but we have not experienced any slipping or sliding in ours, so wondering if it is just a certain fabric that does it or we just have not put enough hours on ours yet?
Which rings did you use?
This link didn't work for me. I'm interested in making one of these. And am curious about the rings.
Bravo sir!!!!! Well done John. I love it.
I think the material has a lot to do with it, but the shape (or lack there-of) of the rear end probably plays a part to. Ever try to hang a ring on an antler point that just deosnt quite make the cut?
