So this is great. I see the primary usefulness of this as you can utilize your flat webbing for this or as anchhor material, slings etc. mix and match for the situation. For personal harness use only could you see introducing buckles into the shoulder straps and in the waist for speed and ease of donning? This is not for use as any other but for ascending and addition to life safety connection.
Hi, I am bit worried abou the first overhand, particularly the free end of webing seems quite short. I always live with the generally recommended rule from many manufacturers that is at least 10cm long free end. I would perhaps even do another knot or some sort of stronger knot there - if it unties at this spot, the whole system is released with no further redundancy....or am I wrong? Also important consideration is the material used. Some webings are very slippery these days - especially dyneema, which is becoming more and more popular. I would consider such harness as an emergency kit in case there is nothing else at hand. Despite the fact that it is flat material, comfy for putting backpack on it, I would consider using a 5m piece of rope, as the chance of getting the knots undone is much lower here....prefering more safety over comfort The commercial top harnesses are cheap and light. One can also carry a 6-8mm thin 240cm long dyneema sling for making anchor, which weights almost nothing and takes up minimum space.
Hi. Can I use 50 mm webbing purely because of comfort? I do have exactly 5 metres of Elderid 25 mm webbing too. My 50 mm webbing is rated at2200kg. MBS. Any reply appreciated cheers. I love it vids. Subbed
Hi Dragan. 50mm seatbelt web should not be tied as a bend or knot... it does not stay together reliably since it is so wide & should only be sewn or buckled. Cheers.

Good luck getting that undone after under tension.
