Why don't yall 2TC?

as I continue practicing more, I more and more suspect it will replace one-sticking. i'm not as fast getting up, but always being tethered is a big safety bonus for my peace of mind.

I do still find that the sensation of being unbalanced/disposed to fall is greater when 2TC than one-sticking... the difference though is in an actual fall scenario, you'd just eat some bark. better than falling to the ground...

I tied two rope handles on my main tether to help move it up the tree w/o putting my fingers under it and that made a big difference, though I plan to re-do each with a prusik knot (I used blake's hitches which got close to un-doing themselves). i also think my foot tether is way too long - I'll probably shorten it from 15 to 12'.
