Please share details of how you attach you parachute and fire blanket to your harness.
I'm very interested in the relationship between the fire blanket connection and the parachute connection.
I presently use a butterfly knot to create a loop for the quick link.
I then slide on the fire blanket and attached it to the quick link with some very heavy thread.
I then attached the parachute and use an o-ring to keep the lines together and properly orientated on the link.
What I would like to do is increase the distance between the fire blanket connection and parachute connection. I want to do this to insure clean air for the parachute opening, force the canopy out of the fire blanket burrito, but I am concerned this may create another potential for a malfunction.
If my canopy were large enough, I would attached the blanket to the apex of the canopy, similar to a skydiving DBag, but that won't work in this scenario as the canopy and fire blanket are too close in size..
Pictures please, pictures please, maybe even Teddy might weigh in (PLEASE) even though this is a homemade harness.
My harness is routed incorrectly through the fire blanket in these pics, please see the pics below...
