    Nice Harness Buckle

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Every harness has buckles, and there are three common ones I want to go over just so everyone is on the same page.

    The mating buckle involves two clumps that fit into each other much like intercourse…  Did I just say that?  There has to be a reason they’re named that right?  Anyway these are the low budget buckle options found on most basic harnesses

    Tongue buckles have a cult fooling and they essentially work like any regular belt.  It has a tongue, grommets, and a little stick to put into the holes in the tongue… Mmmm… that came out wrong.  But you get the idea.

    Finally, quick connect buckles are the fancy connectors on harnesses.  They are commonly found on the high end harnesses, largely due to the fact of how easy they are to buckle.  They work much like a car seatbelt and are extremely secure.

    Well, that was simple.  Now you know, and we’re on the same page.  Some pictures for the still confused…
