The gear in my website photos are #6 Wild Country Friend (green) 1 x #4 big bro 2 x #3 big bro anything smaller won't fit. I wore quite a thin harness and tied in on the side to reduce my already girlish profile. It must have worked because my heavier partner couldn't fit into the crack in places. I...

"Besides, someone will just come along and free it w/o using any bolts and then chop them. Tis the way of the world." Wait a minute.
