Faber 0 #1 June 19, 2004 Hey guys off the BASEboard I were invited to do a walk on a suspentionbrigede(spell?),and will have to do a catwalk on the weires on the Brigede(between pylons).however i dont feel confident by such altitudes so i wonder how prober gear should be to walk at such places.(like a sling or so,but must have room to wear a bag as i will eat lunch at the top). I once saw at discovery that guys working on such places has such gear and i know that i "might"get some as we should do the walk,however i would feel much safer if i got my own.. any know were to get such from? and any good advises so i dont slip feel free to mail or pm me Stay safe Stefan Faber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TowerTopper 0 #2 June 19, 2004 I buy safety gear from Elk River, www.elkriver.com and from Safewaze, www.safewaze.com. You will need a full body harness with a "D" ring on the back and a set of double 6' shock absorbing lanyards with ladder hooks for 100% tie off. If it's on somebody's job site they will also want you to wear a hard hat also, I use my Petzl helmet for that, they are ANSI approved, it's an OSHA thing you know.

Some good ones made by Petzl are here.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Faber 0 #5 June 19, 2004 cool one cheers guys,i will bring my video helmet perhaps that is ok by "them" Stay safe Stefan Faber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites 0
