Shortening carabina

[treemeup]

I use a one way gate on my harness for shortening my saw strop when moving about the tree, not sure which one i've got now (had a few different ones) but the way it is shaped kinda encourages it to stay the same way up so clipping my saw in is easy, thing is they always (50/50) manage to turn the other way up and i would really rather it stayed the right way round!

 

I've tried the petzl caritool and found them to be not that robust.

 

are there any one way caribiners out there which are weighted to stay open end down? (if you know what i mean)

I use one of these

It won’t break like a carritool, the one I have is at least ten years old, I replaced the riveted spindle with a bolt to make it easier to fit to a harness.

If I understand correctly, the karabiner stays on your harness and you put the strop into it. If thats right these would hold the karabiner where you need it to be.
