"An entire new rebuilt kit"

 

So some rings and friction cord?

 

Fair play to the bloke for his ingenuity, but as a production item, it seems to have very few advantages over items already on the market. The belt for the waistband is not adjustable in small increments. The leg loops don't look to be easily opened if you prefer your leg loops snug. And retying knots for adjustment would be a pain.

 

There is also case that some less competent person might adjust their saddle and use an unsuitable knot. Most tree workers I know only really use a prussik and running bowline for knots.
