Took the idea from the JRB channel. My tether has a standard figure 8 loop. With the other end, you just take a bite/loop and put it through the figure 8 loop. With a carabiner, clip it behind the bite/loop, but over both strands of the figure 8 loop. Pull tight against the tree. Doesn't move. Fast, and easy to do in the dark.

@@NatureRN2586 it's surprisingly hard to describe, but simple to do. I'm right handed so I toss the figure 8 loop around the tree, right to left. So now the figure 8/loop is in my left hand, and the rest of tether in the right. On the right hand side, fold the rope into a loop, or make one. Stick this loop through the loop formed by the figure 8 in your left hand. Now clip the caribiner over BOTH ropes forming the figure 8, but BEHIND the one formed and manually inserted. In short put one loop through the other and clip the caribiner in the gap between the two. Ratchet it tight to the tree. Done. Most simple and effective approach I've found so far.

Very important to clip the biner over both ropes forming the figure 8 loop.

Thanks. I’ll have to look into it how easy is it to rappel from.

@@NatureRN2586 You can rapel from it easily, but retrieval will be hard I think. I only use it to tie in the tether so it doesn't drop or move around when at hunting height. Which has been a nuisance in the past. Since I tend to half line/SRT, I'll rapel on that rope/system.

I tried all that and now use a plastic clothes pin, the tether locker got tangled up with the pull down and I had a mess getting the rope out of the tree cuz the tether locker string was tangled up with the other ropes

Did you try the hook method it does away with the string. A lot better than a gear tie and cheaper than the innovation outdoors option. Only down fall is you have to unhook before going down.

Why not use a longer tether and make a full wrap around the tree or wrap a separate sling around the tree

I use a 40’ tether to rappel from. In order to pull the rope back down you need something to hold it up on certain trees. Thanks for the watch

Thanks for the info I will have to look into some of those. Any suggestions on what you like best for the application of saddle hunting and being light and compact

Try a running bowline knot and forget about the quickLink . That’s what I use.
