Making basically a hand climber platform without form without the top portion could be cool if you got use it a as a platform too..
Back to the OP though.... I used this method using a webbing tied into stirrups. Alpine butterfly knot in the middle to clip onto tether. I used a daisy chain for my foot tether and my regular tether up top. Worked pretty well on the right trees. Traversing a branch is a nuisance but I carried an extra daisy chain so I could clip in above the branch while moving my tether.
I didn't have my feet tied together but that would likely make it easier. The webbing didn't bother my feet at all. I just kept my heels together and stood up against the tree.
I'm getting that rig out again to play
