I don't have a problem with my tether loosening and sliding down.you mean it still loosened up and slid down the tree or that your tether never slid to begin with?
Shouldnt be and issue. You can make the hitch as big as you need before you cinch it down.So haven't grabbed a rope yet, but seems in my head this only works on spliced or sewn ropes. The knot would not allow the loop to be big enough to fish a Ropeman thru. Funny I use this on my finger sling for my bow, but never occurred to use it on my tether.
So for those wondering...put your index finger and thumb up in loop. Turn them outward and down to grab both halfs of the loop. Pull up and you formed 2 loops, one on your finger and other on your thumb. Put together and work them till they are big enough to get your Ropeman or prusik through.
I have to admit, I haven't tried it yet either. Kind of wondering how tight the Girth Knot gets, after sitting on it for awhile? Or if coated with freezing rain or snow? One of our members mentioned simply stringing the tether end through the loop twice, which may be the solution!
BCHunter, you Da Man! Nice and thanks for sharing!No need for castration bands or going through twice, just girth hitch it to end the slide.

Mine is knotted and works grand. Just open your loop big enough to allow the knot through and then tighten back down.So haven't grabbed a rope yet, but seems in my head this only works on spliced or sewn ropes.
