First off I want to say I have picked up quite a bit of info on here and for that I say thanks. I decided to go inexpensive in my venture towards this style of hunting. I purchased a rock climbing harness, sit drag and predator 11 mm rope. Let's just say I'm driving the pinto before buying the Cadillac (kestrel). Just to make sure I'm comfortable with this style before making a larger financial plunge. One hiccup I'm having problems with is how to run a linemens on my harness. I know it's possible to do with the sit drag but not the most recommended. My wife lost her dad to a tree stand fall when she was 16 so I try my best to not put her through that experience ever again, so safety for me is most important. The rock harness I purchased is the black diamond momentum in case that helps anyone in regards to responses. Thanks guys and gals.
 
Nothing wrong with that. A lot of gents only use the sit drag with a rock harness.
 
Welcome aboard Diesel, you've come to the right place. I'm glad to hear you are putting safety first, you really need to keep that first and foremost for yourself as well as your wife. I'm sorry for her loss.

A lot of us started out driving the Pinto before we moved to the Cadillac and still drive the Pinto, they both have their place here!
Snoop around and I think you'll find a discussion about adapting a linesmen belt to a RCH if I remember right.

I've been hanging from one kind of a harness/saddle or another going on 35 years now, so if there is anything I can help you with pm me, I'd be glad to help...
