I like your improvements to the two tether, I like a leg loop on the top tether also , helps put weight on the top tether before sitting all the way into your saddle, and am playing around with using a doubled rope with the jrb saddle hunters hitch, a foot loop and bridge connection on each rope, also thinking of using a web chest harness on the bottom tether attached to the redundant bridge to keep me close to the tree when climbing . Jrb ascender hitches are awesome huh!

Looks cool bro but those knots would bother me. I use the ropeman1 best 40$ ever

I had and used 2 ropeman1's for a year, but if you do some research friction knots are far stronger and safer, though mechanicals are much more convenient. I practice alot during off season and test things thoroughly before actually climbing with them. Have you seen my 2 test video? No one else in our little community has done a video of such a fall (more than 2 feet!). Thats why I trust my SNEAK knot as well as JRB's. You should at least try them out.... All the best to you! Have a great season!

I've been wanting to do this as well, would you tell me how you've got that set up? I heard you say you are using a michoacan for adjustment on the bridge side, what hitch are you using on the tether? I'm using a ropeman for my foot loop's connection, what hitch are you using there? Also, I guess you are rappelling down from the top tether, are you able to do that with the jrb hitch?

So this video is old, if you see the newer videos on my channel you'll see the updated versions!

And yes, I rappel down with the JRB Hitch because nothing comes close to the releasability of it! I have a new way to tie it, video coming this weekend!
