I cut seat belts from totaled cars. (Seat belts not damaged) but I cut the whole lenght of each. Would a seat belt suffice? I know these have to be rated as one of the strongest items out there in order to ensure the safety of drivers. I use them for strap attachments etc. But could you use em for this harness?

New favorite site.

I’m having a hard time figuring out what you’re doing in the video around the 6:50 mark. How do the “2 loops” that come around your waist attach to the crotch loop before you hook the carabiner to the two loops?

Definitely not as strong, but great tip to add!

Thanks for the comment,

Make your own “rigger's rubber bands.” Buy a bicycle inner tube and cut it to whatever width you like. Granted, they aren't as flexible (stretchy) but they work for their limited application. Much cheaper too.

It’s interesting that the still photos show the person wearing a “riggers” belt while also using the improvised swiss seat. Could a shorter piece of 1″ tubular nylon be prepared with leg loops to be used in conjunction with the riggers belt?

Great ideas here.
The link to the Rigger’s Rubber Bands site doesn’t appear to be working.

Daisy chain another snaplink in there and you’ll save wear and tear on your tubular nylon and possibly prevent a burn through.

Very true Tango 7. Its about what works, and nearly anything will work in a pinch. It’s good to have the knowledge though to be able to turn that rope into whatever the situation calls for.

Thanks for the comment,

Mike,

I took a look too, and it appears to be sold out or removed from their site.
