[Old Mill Tree Care]

Could someone please post a video or some pictures of it in use. It would be good to see how it actually works because i'm a bit confuzzled at the minute

How much are they mate?

Today I've repositioned my Sidewinder slightly more towards the back but more significantly I've re-route the lanyard through the smaller of the exit holes.

There is now a straight line from Sidewinder to Cinch and although there is some friction with the small hole, I think there was more before because I have the unit high on my harness so that I could use the gear loop.

 

I've also replaced the zip ties with non replaceable ones to get a flatter fit.

looks real tidy dude, youve had it for a month now roughly,,, overall how you getting of with it??

I could never go back to a lanyard trailing along or having to daisy chain it to keep it close.

The Sidewinder worked well for me at first but the route from the spool was partially obstructed by the case and the Caritool.

Be aware though that these factors will differ on other types of harness.

 

Now with the new position the exit for the lanyard is smoother and the lanyard passes directly through the Caritool.

While it won't kill you not to have one, it will make your climbs easier. I couldn't live without it now.

That sounds like a great advertisment for them OMT:thumbup: I like the idea.

If you want to try a poormans version, a stowable lanyard I guess you would call it... a large ditty sak(I like the Buckingham one with elastic top) will take 15 feet of whatever lanyard you like. Not as convenient as the Sidewinder but a whole lot tougher, and faster than a DC. I like the idea of the SW, but for myself I know it would get broken. Not by climbing mind you, space is always at a premium on the trucks and that means climbing gear frequently gets crushed, that would be my prime concern.

Kids have no respect for other peoples stuff...lol.

My own truck where the saddle always hung in a safe place no problem, Im sold.

sounds like to need to stow your kit a bit more safely dude, our trucks are always rammed but i always seem to find a safe niche for the gear!
