Rock climbing VS. Tree climbing saddles?

Sew as in SEW. I used a stitching awl and 1-inch tubular webbing to make essentially an eye-and-eye sling with 3 layers of material across the middle. The eyes are the "dee rings". The middle was heavily stitched. Then it was lightly stitched around the back of the saddle. Bulletproof and comfortable in normal use, but all bets are off in some sort of nasty fall against the safety lanyard. It won't break, but would probably rip loose from the saddle. Don't take a nasty fall.

Sounds OK. My friends dad accounted the time he fell bad from climbing on clothesline and his belt loops. I didn't think I heard him right when he told me, I hope he is the only one that dumb.

You might want to do a search on suspention trama.

Check out the link in Tom Dunlap's post under Commercial Tree Care and Climbing. "Suspension Trauma." Very informative.

A very real danger for someone hanging immobile in a harness.

Something to think about with every move.
