Tried all the nick nacky stuff keep coming back to rubber fender washer.
Same here.
Which one is that? I can't keep up with all the JRB stuff. What I have seen most of it seems to require tying a knot/hitch at the tree which is a dealbreaker personally.
For what it's worth, I tried this and the Celtic button out of paracord and I think the Flexi is better. I have a delta link and the fender washer wanted to pull through, so it might vary depending on your quick link shape.

I actually prefer the running jrb hitch just because it is so easy to get off and out of the tree at the end of the hunt.
I have been using the tether-locker for 2 seasons and am happy with it.The Flexi Ohm Tether Locker | Innovating the Outdoors | Innovating the Outdoors

I just rip a hair tie and triple knot top and bottom. Slides up and down easy enough, holds delta link in place, cheap and easily replaceable.

Will that washer slide down the rope when pulling rope out of tree if you forget to do so before you repel down? If you forget to slide do you have to do the climb of shame?

I've been using a Nite-Ize Gear Tie for three seasons now. IT is just in back of my anchor knot on my rappel line which holds the delta link. I wrap it around, not even really just loop it up enough to hold the rappel line. Once there's weight on the rappel line, it is virtually unnecessary. Once on the ground, I move to the right, with my rope retrieval and the gear tie is flexible enough to allow me to tug a bit and usually the rope comes right down.
not a bad idea at all. I wonder though if cutting a slit horizontally into the hole would allow you to remove from the rope (and still keep its spring/hold) without having to slide it up and down the length of the rope initially or live on the rope.

That might work. It would be worth a try to see. Just don't cut a 2 inch section out of the middle of a 100 foot air hose, lol.
