Hello,
I am wondering if anyone can suggest a mail order webbing supplier to make harnesses with.
Thanks
Conor
To connect with their traditions, Inuit of eastern Nunavut challenge each other each spring in the marathon Nunavut Quest dog sledding race. For six days, the Piksuk Media crew travel with the 17 teams and their 118 helpers along the spectacular east coast of Baffin Island, braving blizzards, high winds and cracking sea ice as the changing climate puts everyone on edge.
Hi Conor,
Do a google search on nylon webbing and you will find lots of sources, including some from actual manufacturers. In the "old days" the British Antarctic Survey "doggy men' used lamp wick (http://thefanhitch.org/V10N3/V10,N3Lampwick.html). But I'm not sure that is any easier to obtain and/or prepare than bearded seal is.
Here is one source of nylon webbing http://www.countrybrookdesign.com
And here is some 'techincal' information on webbing: https://www.strapworks.com/Articles.asp?ID=144
