I was at a christmas fair today at the Cameron House Hotel at loch lomond side.It seems to be the kind of thing you do with your mrs...i paid 5 quid for two jars of jam...homemade so that justifies it.Seen a guy flying a barn owl,that was good.

It was actually a loler inspector who first put it too me about the TM bridge being fragile when it came cutting implements grazing it. He did comment he had seen some back up bridges on other TM harnesses,further to that ive seen a couple of climbers on facebook/instagram etc with what looked like back up bridges however seeing those pictures posted in this thread with harnesses with in built double bridges perhaps it was those ive seen.
-
Yes your right,ive just always said lanyarding in as a secondary tip.
-
There are things that are beyond our control but obviously you can check the tip with binoculars,its not fullproof but it helps.But we can reduce the risk to the items under our control such as our kit
-
Sorry when i said secondary i meant lanyarding in as a secondary tie in point
-
Yeah thats fine no worries.I accept you have your opinions and have every right to voice them. It just came across as patronising to me..perhaps it wasnt meant that way. We'll move on now
-
I think its pretty obvious no one would cut near there bridge,but accidents happen,in the event of a kick back its possible the saw could catch your bridge..
-
Great! So two short bridges with splices on each side of the harness.Thats surley a genuine design idea for harness developement
-
I didnt stipulate anything as i know what social media is like.Your comments werent helpful,i was polite in asking you too refrain from being negative. I know im not your mate,where im from its a generic name for males in conversation. Clearly you are offended by someone daring to ask you to stop being unhelpful.
-
How many climbers-be honest-lanyard in on every cut..? Ive cut with no secondary on,my point is yeah 99% of the time a second bridge would be redundant but all it takes it a split second brain lapse,and your out the tree...this is where a second bridge would come into play. I really dont think it would get in the way though
-
Thats really not helpful is it. If you cant add anything positive to the conversation then perhaps this ones not for you mate
-
Yes tthat is a possibility thats why the wirecore option mentioned earlier would have a greater chance of surviving a cut from a saw
-
You would always be tied in with lanyard anyway while cutting,but if the bridge fails/gets cut,your stranded aloft,and the ribbing from the lads would be mercyless
-
Too me tickets are only part of it.If someone is a great worker with a genuine interest in arboriculture id pay them more than a person with the relevant groundie tickets but doesnt give a toss about pulling his weight or furthering themselves.
-
Could do the same with a zigzag too.It does mean clipping on before cutting and off after though,some-probably me included- would quickly tire of that. I think the back up bridge is easier as your biner on your mainline goes round both bridges or onto the ring which is on both bridges you know
-
Its saturday mate but yeah ive had a few hehe. I like the idea of a wire core or similar...could be into something there
-
I dont think disliking the harness or the bridge has anything to do with it.Its being prepared in the event of a compromised bridge
-
Did i say i didnt like the standard bridge..? No...so dont put words in my mouth please.As i stated above its a secondary back up bridge as in running 2 bridges incase the primary gets nicked or compromised.
-
Hi all,I was wondering if any of you climbers put a back up bridge on your harness.Ive seen more and more climbers do it.I have a treemotion and it would be easy to fit. It would be removed for loler and only a back up incase the bridge got cut or badly nicked. Thoughts.. Thank you
-
You can acheive the same thing on ddrt using a choker with 2 rings on it around the stem. That can be moved down by flipping your rope to tie in again at waist level
-
Hope your using that marlow rope to make dog leads...
