Holy shit that's expensive, just buy a cheap climbing harness and string it through the belay loop. I do that for pull ups and it works great. Here's a cheap harness for $20

Looks awesome
What holster are you using for the TR50?
All that stuff can get heavy, id recommend adding some straps to keep it up if you start having trouble

Any rock climbing carabiner should be more than rated to your hang and probably thin enough to go through your loop. Remember they are designed to withstand the force generated from people falling off rock face. I use these which are small and thin but I do care about weight.
Nice! Try the Kong Frog Carabiner. That and a shoulder eyebolt are the perfect companion to an Easy rig. Makes it much easier to add and remove your camera. Happy shooting!

How about a DIY harness solution? Works great for me!
Here's all you need:
10-12' of 1" webbing - Here's 30' and it's only $7.85 - get creative and use the extra for additional straps. Get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Strapworks-Heavyweight-Polypropylene-Webbing-Strapping/dp/B01KTVG0KI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1536581470&sr=8-3&keywords=webbing&dpID=41Rlrv4YwXL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1&psc=1
And some heavy duty adjustable buckles - here's 10 for $8:
https://smile.amazon.com/10-Adjustable-Release-Plastic-Buckles/dp/B00DCZRLZW/ref=pd_bxgy_468_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00DCZRLZW&pd_rd_r=a024606f-b511-11e8-bcdb-932140fb8169&pd_rd_w=2VDdD&pd_rd_wg=jlO0J&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=6725dbd6-9917-451d-beba-16af7874e407&pf_rd_r=FQT5NVP8YN0D9B15J053&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=FQT5NVP8YN0D9B15J053
I assume you have an o-ring. Cut two pieces whatever length you need (lightly burn the ends with a lighter to stop fraying), double loop them through the o-ring and attach the buckles. Then pick out your favorite coffee table, footstool, pillow, etc. Attach straps first, then slide flared toy through the o-ring and mount up.
If you go this route, let me know how it works out.
You mean THE WORLD FAMOUS Jumbo 8" Aluminum Carabiner Snap Hook with Soft http://www.amazon.com/Jumbo-Aluminum-Carabiner-Snap-Hook/dp/B003LV3UZM
(On mobile) sorry if link no work
I just got my first sewing machine a Elna EL2000 and was wondering if it would be able to sew through nylon straps such as these.
Thanks
FOUR things you can try:
My local shop rents the first for $25 an hour, have to leave a CC in case you don't return.
Personally I have something similar to the flexEx on my desk at work - this. I do not feel like it helps with my grip strength but working with it is good for injury prevention and rehabbing finger injures.
No it'll fray. Maybe if you do it with a hot knife, but, honestly, just pick up a spool of nylon strapping: https://smile.amazon.com/Strapworks-Heavyweight-Polypropylene-Webbing-Strapping/dp/B01KTVG0KI
Here are some pictures of the hangboard! https://imgur.com/a/RiqWZ
It's a Metolius Wood Grips Compact.
I've also used carabiners and alligator clips if you have a bird who will chew through bread ties. I met a little angry blue budgie who could seemingly chew through anything.
Cheap-o chalk is better than no chalk. I only know because I used to rock climb a lot, which is very grip specific. Non brand chalk blocks are usually pretty cheap, and they'll go a long way. E.g. Rogue sells chalk for $12 for 8 blocks, which is hard to beat especially considering that it's one of their "3 ships free" deal. (But as an addendum, Black Diamond White Gold chalk isn't that much more expensive per pound.)
It's a big carabiner. This one in a different color.
Been looking at this for a while. Free gift card - time to splurge a little.

No worries. You have a one ratchet setup. This is fine. You still have the long end. Without the ratchet. What you can do, invest towards a two teachers system. Half now, half later. Spanner, shackle, and ratchet should set you up for a good modular system moving forward.
http://www.absoluteslacklines.com/product/soft-detensioner/
That plus the jumbo ratchet is $60, then pick up one of their span sets for $20 and you have half of a trickline tensioning system.
There is also this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ICHEILA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awd_x_s8OiybP6GCEGW
Still $40, and you'll be without a shackle and span set. Your $80 kit is as base as they come. So it'll be hard to match those prices.
Depending on budget, maybe a hang board, if he's got the space for it. I have this one (60-80$) and it's pretty good for a non-pro, and looks nice.
I just got one of these for Christmas, which reduce finger-related injuries if you use it. Other climbers that I've talked to at my gym tape their joints, which makes it more difficult for joints to get pulled.
lol OP you've been missing out if you've never used a carabiner.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GA3N9MQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_VhyAzbRH8NZ52
Amateur rock climber here.
Here are some products I can recommend to non climbers to improve overall hand and arm strength. My dad uses some of these to fight joint pains and he finds them useful. Also useful for carpel tunnel.
Gyro ball
Metolius gripsaver
There's many others but Those two are the best general purpose ones that I can recommend.
This would be in addition to all the doctor checkin recommendations of course.
Do your hands also tremble when shaving?
rock climbing holds use a 3/8-16 allen head bolt to attach. You'll need to get some t-nuts, but most climbing hold companies provide the bolt with the hold...otherwise they're just 3/8-16 allen head bolts for the most part. I would recommend 4 pronged t-nuts over 3 prong. They're easy to find on ebay or else these on amazon will work just fine. There's a ton of climbing hold companies out there as well, but I'd recommend going to a local climbing gym first and see if they're selling any old holds first. Then, I'd go with Element Climbing Holds, E-grips, or three ball for cheaper holds.
I would say that 2.5 feet is too short and will be quickly out grown. I would make it whatever height a 4 foot tall piece of plywood would make it given the angle you have in the design.
Logistics of the gym...how will they get to the monkey bar rungs? Will they have to squeeze between the vertical rungs to get onto them? Maybe take out the top vertical rung so there's a place for them to transfer onto the top monkey bars?
For portability, could it be folded up? Maybe use a thick wood dowel on each side to the legs can folded inward for movement and storage and then you'd just have to have something on the outside that would stop the legs from opening up further than you want.
I use a couple of frog carabiners and detach the lines completely when I'm riding. They're a little pricy but they're fast and durable.

Nah, it's my Kong Frog
Just buy a Superclip and borrow/buy a painter's pole from Home Depot. Cheap and easy.
[Black Diamond Neutrino](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001O7O6VC/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_qbwavb0HT74CN
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001O7O6VC/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_qbwavb0HT74CN) strong enough to actually be used to hold weight but still relatively light weight. I'd highly recommend it.
Maybe use a duffel bag or better yet a tool bag from a hardware store?
Maybe use a big carabiner to bring them all together so they don't mish-mash and tangle with each other?
https://www.amazon.com/Jumbo-Aluminum-Carabiner-Snap-Hook/dp/B003LV3UZM
Maybe use a clothes hanging rod in the trunk up high and just pull what you need at each site off it?

Best $11.95 I've ever spent
Select the 300g bag. Free shipping with Amazon Prime.
Climbing-rated carabiner (preferably a locking carabiner) through the end of the ball eye-screws.
Climbing-rated sling over your pull-up bar with the ends of the sling hooked into the carabiner. You'll want to choose an appropriate sling length so that the grip balls hang (phrasing!) at your desired height.

Get a nice giant carabiner and hook everything up.
Here you are!

Then a carabiner is about 5-10 dollars. I love this one, but I'm only now getting into it:

I've read that oval is better, but I've also heard you want flat ends. Up to you I guess.
If you don't care about vertical space, get one of these:

Being a poor college student, I've done a good bit of research on the best bang for the buck for suspension equipment :)

I've been doing aerials for about 3 years, and just bought a used aerial rig for my backyard (!!!!). I believe it's this one. I don't have any other equipment yet or any experience rigging, and I don't want to die of a spinal injury in my backyard. I have a lead on a hoop from one of my instructors, but I'm not sure what to get as far as other rigging equipment. My current amazon shopping list looks like this:
- carabiners
- swivel
- span set
Is this okay? Should I take a class on rigging? Should I hire someone to come look this over once I'm set up?
I need help finding the best solution for the bottom of my giant jenga carrying case.
I am wanting to make a carrying case like [this](
http://eastplum.blogspot.com/2014/04/giant-jenga-with-easy-storage-box.html), but I was hoping to get advice on what would be best to use to thread the threaded rods into the bottom.
A couple Ideas:
use t nuts, shown here.
Or some kind of threaded inserts, shown here
I didn't know if there would be a better solution to make the underside of the bottom board flat, yet allow a threaded rod to thread through that part. Another solution I have seen is simply putting a hex nut on the underside, but that makes it stick out on the bottom. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I use a larger Chalk Bucket (helps with carrying extra items in the gym) and use Black Diamond uncut White Gold.

I use an S-type size 4 carabiner, and I grasp the center part. It's comfortable in the hand and gives a nice amount of control.
This make a good keyring , i usually buckle it up on my pants.
Might come in handy at some point.

Plus the stuff you mentioned makes it complete.
A wood Metolius climbing hangboard. It's not really a pullup bar, but it can be used as one, and it looks nice.
https://www.amazon.com/Metolius-Grips-Compact-Training-Board/dp/B001PPOCJE
I had a Gorilla gym pullup bar, which was a good bar, but I wanted a bar that looked nice enough that I could leave it up all the time, which is I why I switched over to the hangboard.
Try this: https://www.amazon.com/Mission-Athletecare-302101-Parent-Power-Grip/dp/B00M51DFVS
I have some and it really works, need to find it again and throw it in my bag.
No, that's the Mad Pad.

This is the harness I am using:

I suspect velcro would present similar issues as the magnets, and also show up on the gun since it has to be external.
When you say a hook, what do you mean exactly?
The idea of a fishing line is definitely interesting, and might be worth playing around with as well
It's possible that it might if it wants to play. Get a carabiner with a locking mechanism on it and try that.
https://www.amazon.com/Outmate-Aluminum-D-Ring-Locking-Carabiner/dp/B01GA3N9MQ/ref=zg_bs_3402551_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5ZGEYPTJPSK94YZT2720
Yeah, that's more along the line of what I was thinking, but moreso utilizing the hole of the controller. Like, say, using one of those extra large carabiners to just slot into the hole of the controllers.
I used to use a hydration pack for a quiver:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CZASEOM?keywords=hydration%20pack%20condor&qid=1454059257&ref_=sr_1_13&sr=8-13
After a while I switched over to a hydration pouch that I mounted onto a back harness (which I looped around and turned into a pack):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0082CW7AY?keywords=hydration%20pack%20condor&qid=1454059257&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00865NC2E?keywords=condor%20harness&qid=1454059367&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
(here's mine, though I've since switched to a Howard Hill style 2 point back quiver: http://i.imgur.com/5mLTKfO.jpg )
There's also this as well. I can't personally attest to how well this works but it's got some pretty good reviews
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NZIMCY?keywords=archery%20back%20quiver&qid=1454059178&ref_=sr_1_47&sr=8-47
And this would probably work as well:

Thanks. I've been looking for a new carabiner for my EDC. this one, specifically
Rock exotica makes a Swivel / Carabiner that might work for you. it's $82, but has an integrated carabiner so you'll save a few bucks (and vertical inches) there.
Fusion make's a cheaper one at $33.
Copied from OP's comment to another:

In total cost me around $200-300 but you can definitely look for cheaper ones on other websites.
If OP is looking for the best deal, there might be some brands having a sale that also have plenty reviews from people who have used the gear on a site like amazon. Ultimately OP, or someone else, would have to google to find the current deals. So instead OP could just google "wiregate carabiners" or even "recommendations for wiregate carabiners". Reviews on sales sites are just as good as people on here, since gear doesn't change and they would have actually used the gear.
For instance, this is cheap, has a full 5 star rating after 400 reviews, which is almost unheard of. Don't need anything more than that.
