Don't make me chop you
Just thought I would toss this out on the climbing gear table and see what reactions I'll get.
I have had this on my saddle for the last four months and found it to be handy. It does get in the way at times with my handsaw so close to it but I hardly notice it most of the time.
One of the things that irritate me when climbing out on limbs and your rope angle is getting bad and have to lanyard in for balance and good positioning is you can't always clip in good on the off side and have to fight to find the dee and get the snap locked in because the body is twisted and the dee is off to one side.
Decided I would give this a try to see if I could solve this little problem. Works good as when I do need it all I have to do is reach down for ring and clip my snap into it. The added length is nice and having the ability to adjust from both sides is a nice feature.
This started out with a fixed length of cord tied directly to the dee. That didn't ride to good on the dee and made clipping the snap a pain. The shackle soved that problem and I just carried it a step further with Distel and dog snap to adjust it.
I know my dee's are kind of old school and this may not work for everyone but I would still like some input.
If I have stolen someones idea and not given credit. I apoligise. I honestly don't remember seeing this anywhere.
