OK, sign me up!  What are names of one or two sources of the harnesses, and who does training.  Remember, I am in Michigan, so midwestern sources would be appreciated.

I've survived by using harnesses provided by contractors for years, as I only need it for short durations every year or two, but perhaps cumulatively I would have benefited from having my own all these years.  The provided equipment has always been comfortable and clean, so I have felt this was appropriate and respectful of my visitor status.  

Also, a plug for Vertical Access.  When scaling really difficult places, those guys are great.  Because they are knowledgable about what they are seeing, it makes their photos, comments, and video feeds very useful.  They always make a good media event in a small town, too, and everyone is totally impressed.  That makes us look good, too, because we bring the experts to assist us.

I love my work, but I want to be safe to tell the stories...like you, Ken.

Thanks.
