I saw on here recently something i wanted to try. A guy was using amsteel daisy chains. One loop on the versa button, then around the tree, wrap around the versa button, take it back and put it through a loop and pull it tight back toward the stick. Almost like a truckers hitch, and loop the tightest loop onto the versa button. Sounds real solid, but i have yet to get to try it.
It is a trucker's hitch as far as function. I'm 90% sure that he wrapped the tag end of the chain several times around the button while holding tight and then maybe tied an overhand (but watch the video again). If you just looped the closest loop then the trucker hitch would lose tension and defeat the purpose. I use the same exact technique but on strap on steps.
