You must be able to unfasten the shackle on your harness with one hand
while suspended off the ground with your full weight on it. That is not
an optional requirement. Something with a lanyard pull for release is
desirable, as you may be trying to open it with either one or two broken
arms. I

As far as I understand it, quick release at the harness end ONLY is what is
recommended and that is what is approved under the ORC regulations.
I can't see why you would want or need quick release at the pad eye or
jackline end. Double action release so no inadvertent tripping at that end
is
I don't think so. You really only need the quick release at your end.

As an ex-climber, I would never anchor using an non-lockable carabiner. And
certainly not a wire gate one.
The same Moosejaw has the locking carabiner like this:

I tried adding new GFI's on my AC where it comes in, and ended up removing
them because of nuisance tripping .
I was told that on one side it was the Charger - apparently the transformer
takes a millisecond to load, and that caused constant tripping, and the
other side maybe needed new wiring.
The Defender sale starts on the 27th. It hurts less when its on sale.

Bob,
I have to comment: It's your life we're talking about here.
That said, you need to use carabiners on the jack line ends of the tether that
need two motions to open them. Otherwise you can twist the tether when moving
around and it will release by itself. The attachment to your harness
One thing to also consider, the twin wire will get hotter than two single wires
of same gauge and load. Should not be an issue if the wire is sized
generously, it can be an issue if 'just enough' and used with prolonged load
time.

This one is inexpensive and probably better that one that is home made, but it
also has deficiencies. A single leg means you need to unclip almost every time
you move. The hook can come open by accident, unlike one that needs two
motions. And the 6' strap might trip you.

David - I have totally rewired my boat, and used sheathed duplex (or
triplex) throughout. I mean, there is not a single wire or connection
