Skeeter,
The harnesses the hunters use, even the more expensive ones, are nothing near the quality as the kind you use, but they are still effective. I have some of the heavy duty harnesses you speak of. They have the decelerators, metal clips, D-rings, etc. The hunter's model are similar but without all the metal stuff. They're put on the same way you mention. When I got my very first harness, I was scared I would never figure it out! LOL!
Thanks for touching up on the pointers on the safe use of the harnesses.
