Where can I buy seat belt webbing? 30-Jun-2009 At 11:00:16 PM rocknrich

OK, I give up. The webbing has a 2000kg breaking strength, it will be new, it is wrapped in a pattern that is similar to a buckled harness, it is tied with a common knot.

Are you against people tying in with a knot they tie themselves, or using slings made from pieces of webbing, or climbing on anchors they've placed themselves? It's good to question practices, yes, but the same goes for commercial gear. Are you saying that a first time climber should not climb in a harness like that I've described, but if its a store bought one it'll be fine, even though there's buckles to be doubled and if it's on too loose.Things need to be questioned, but if it can be explained and reasoned, then is that not ok? I'd prefer the guy taking me climbing for the first time knew what he was doing.

I was asking if anyone had seen the stuff in shops, not if it could be done. On the other hand, if anyone has knowledge of a real issue with a harness like this, and not a 'perceived higher risk', please let me know.
