Looking forward to reading the series on going aloft!
As for myself, I trust my climbing gear more than any bosun’s chair I’ve seen. I’m happy and comfortable working aloft with my harness and foot loops made from a sling.
I never work in a bosuns chair without a backup and bosuns chairs are way more comfortable than harnesses, at least for this old bod. On the other hand, I would never go up a mast at sea in a bosun’s chair. Point being that, at least in me eyes, both have a place in the kit.
