Title says it all.. i've found a couple of decent websites. Just curious where everyone is buying their climbing rope and hardware. I need to DIY a linemans belt for my aerohunter which will be arriving this Friday :D

Specifically looking for the following:
Yale Bandit Static Line
9mm accessory cord
double-locking caribineers

Looking to DIY something close or similar to the new tribe belt, without the sleeve. Seems like after I add up up totals in my cart i'm only a few bucks shy of what New tribe provides... which at that point I might as well buy their belt.

So far I have 10ft of yale bandit, 6ft of accessory cord (maybe too much?), and a rock D screw-lock caribineer.

Thoughts?

Check out the wesspur.com clearance rope section. It's kind of a pain because you need to look up every rope unless you're familiar with the name, but they usually have pretty good discounts.

There were a couple chunks of Bandit last time I looked, but they are no longer there.

I ordered from wesspur when I did what you are doing now.

That's the site I am on right now. Prices are comparable to everyone else, except they are one of the few to sell the yale bandit rope.

Question: What length of accessory cord did you buy?

I ordered 10ft of Yale bandit, 6ft of samson Prusik cord, 3ft of cordura sleeve, and an omega non-locking carabineer for just over $30 shipped from treestuff.com for a DIY linemans belt.

There prices were slightly better than wesspur, and had a better selection of accessory cords + hardware.

I think after the new year I will experiment with a ropeman-type ascender on my tree strap, as i've found adjusting the blake's hitch after it's set requires quite a bit of strength and movement.
