hahaha, Squishy...probably the SAME damn belt!!! We used that in trees in the 70's 'cause we were idiots. Along with 3 strand manila...I still have this manila...love the smell of manila rope.
hahaha...back in the 70's and 80's I had some 3 strand...here is the first "saddle" I ever used. A buddy taught me to climb with this lineman's belt.
I got a kind of "real" saddle in the 80's maybe and started using 3 strand then...the snaps had no safeties. I can remember sometimes a rope...
All I have ever used is a lanyard...I don't have a wire core. I don't feel like I have had any work positioning problems with lanyard only. It is about 9/16" and static line...fairly stiff which makes it flip pretty well. But nothing wrong with a wire core...I'll probably eventually try...
