No.

I dont know about that I would avoid anything that doesnt choke or constrict. On a tulip, or similar, tree with no taper if the adj FS became loose it could slide up a considerable amount.. For me, my goal is to use no hardware in my base tie.

Charles, check out this system. You dont need to buy anything, just having an extra rope and a portawrap/figure eight/lowering device/carabiner with munter hitch gives you a great margin of safety with nothing to worry about. The running bowline is a superior choice compared to a clove hitch...

Great point!

I like that for an instructional setup but it would never work for production as you cant retail your line, recrotch, or redirect if understand it right.. Thanks for the idea though, I like it for taking a newb up and down or just teaching mechanical ascender use or even footlocking. Good to...

The guys on my crew hassle me already because my SRT system takes longer in their eyes. They dont really see the benefits that I do so I just try to make it barebones and quick. Carrying an extra hank of full size rope and/or a porty would be too much.

I think I may just start tying 2 butterflys above my base tie. That way I can leave a fig8/biner with my bag at the trunk. I dont see myself carrying an additional rope everywhere but I could tell the guys on my crew how the idea works. Then if they ever need to rescue me the 8 can be clipped to...

Usually I tie a butterfly above the whole setup so that IF a ground lowerable rescue had to occur any rope can just be tied on and have a wrap taken, then my climbing line could be cut or whatever.

I was reading an old thread and thought I would throw my base tie in. 50kn ISC Big Dan Carabiner it kinda a cow hitch. It grips tight and puts little to no load on the biner. The picture Dave posted looks like the best option I have seen yet.
