My Dept uses the RIT bail out systems and I like the idea of having a bag in the pocket vs. Just having the rope in your pocket. Allows for tools to be put behind thr bag with out compromising the bailout system.
Say the factory sewn connection to the anchor hook isn't there. What knot are you tying to permanently attach the escape rope/web to the anchor hook? Is there a specific knot CMC or Sterling recommends?
The recommended knots from CMC is a scaffold or poachers knot - Both are often referred to as barrel knots due to their appearance once tied and dressed out. I use the scaffold knot - It's not as strong as the poachers knot, but not as bulky either. You can do a google or RUclips search for either one to see how they're tied. Thank you for your comment and question!

What belt Is that
It's a Kevlar belt with a Cobra D buckle - Our FD purchases the components and a local turnout company stitches everything together
