Dmm wire gate karabiner

[snltree]

Needing help figuring out how to fit the dmm wire gate karabiner to a dragonfly harness

If possible?

Any input would be great

Thanks

Dunno about the dmm but pretty sure I managed to wedge a karitool between the webbing on the stitched on belt. Think there is the odd bit not stitched that you can work it into

I’d take the karitool over a vault and any other metal saw hook.

The vault won’t brake if you get a rigging rope caught in it.

I've been mincing around with these Rock Exotica ones on my Dragonfly; they lock unlike a wiregate - so as long as you remember to lock them when rigging... I had to buy slightly longer machine screws for the double thickness webbing(ebay)

It does say expert use only - so you can't sue unless you can identify 75% of the arboretum

Cool use of the Exotica!

I wouldn't use wire-gates in Arb-work, only with my light weight rock-climbing harness. (But my experience is limited - not quite up to the 75%?!).

Nostalgically...my ol' tree-harness was a DragonFly - it was like sitting on a smooth wide branch or a sanded, rounded, wooden shelf; compared to my skinny Metolius for indoor walls - which is like wearing a tight belt with leg-straps!

I'd pay money to see you in a tight belt with leg straps ! ?

Or you could get the locking DMM vault

they were both out when I got mine - the reason I went Rock Exotica is the screw down mounting plate - it does hold it really well , my Caritool used to slide around the webbing. These locking hooks are ok, but if I forget to lock them I can imagine its not good for the rigging load to be transferred mid flight to the harness

I was sorry to hear you'd lost your house - hopefully you can get a 75% mortgage again one day

Thank you! I have been an off- gridder for the past year or two now. The new life I am building does not include a mortgage any more: I am more than 75% sure of that! (And content about this too). I am mindful that the original meaning of mort-gage is "death pledge" and I am aware of the peaceful, yet "lived" stage I am at in my life now. A cabin in the mountains in the woods, or in a tree is plenty enough for me in the end. Meantime - I am living communally in the Winter and looking for wheels to live on next year. 

yeah death pledge sums it up - pretty sure I'll have a chain round my neck for the forseeable - nose to the grindstone.

I’ve relegated the Vault to the back of my harness and gone back to a large caritool without the gate.

Good bit of kit, just didn’t like the way I couldn’t high clip the larger saws.
