Do you think that you could use the daisy chain as a tree tether, too? Feed the daisy chain through the eye splice around the tree (i.e., girth hitch), and then pick a daisy chain hole on the tag end to attach it to the bridge with a caribiner
No issues!No issues with wear from the stick edges?
You could but I’d use a heavier rope. I don’t think it would be wise however. Not adjustable without disconnecting. I frequently adjust my tether length while hunting. I’d hate to lose the ability to do that.
Could just use a carabiner off your lineman’s belt to stay connected and change length.

This is good to know. When I switched to the rope mod for my Heliums, I made whoopie slings out of 1/4" amsteel. I tried them out but didn't like the fiddle factor. Too much time trying to get them just right. I'm sure with practice I would get much faster but I really like simple. I had made the whoopie slings a little long (around 7') so, if I didn't like them, I would just turn them into straight ropes and use them like the original rope mod. When I saw the daisy chain method I liked how simple it seemed. I made one daisy chain and left the other two straight to see which one I liked better. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. Your information has made me excited to try it. It does seem like the most simple method of all.After another two hunts under my belt using the 7/64 Amsteel daisy chain I’ve decided that this method is the SHIZ! I love this. Makes setting up and taking down so dang easy. It’s super easy to get the bottom of the stick exactly the right distance from the top of the last stick. Just hook the closest link to the button, reach hands inside rope and move up or down until it’s where you want it, slide stick down with your hands and it’s set. Step up and you get almost no additional settling.

I tried them side by side. I had 1/4" Amsteel ropes with spliced Brummels on the versa button. The 7/16" daisy chain wins, hands down. I was laughing at myself that I even want to take my sticks out with me even when I'm going out to a tree I already have a tree set up with bolts.This is good to know.

Do it! I am not a video maker but I am a video watcher. I know how much I like videos over just reading about something. Some of these threads have some really complicated explanations. Seeing it in action will definitely convey the information better.I tried them side by side. I had 1/4" Amsteel ropes with spliced Brummels on the versa button.

I hope to make a video showing how simple this is.

Should only have to "insert media" or link to a you tube link. just b sure to upload after attaching cuz its easy to miss the button that says upload after you attach
I really like the versa strap aider. Nice job!

Thanks for the video! I already knew that I was going to switch to the daisy chain. Like I said earlier, I had one made already. Well, last night I started to make the other two. I also like that strap. One piece of equipment to do three jobs, that's awesome. Did you call it Carl's strap?
