I am just getting into the saddle game and have decided to start with one stick. I was originally intending to use the rappel rope as my tether but had some worries about not being backed up. Then I saw a video where a guy uses the rappel rope as his lineman. I kind of like that idea, it adds a couple of extra steps in having to hang it at the end of the hunt, remove your tethr and untie the prusik that makes it a lineman. I'm kind of thinking I still want to use the rappel rope as a tether but will back up up with the prusik. I have a mad rock safe guard, a kong duck and prusik, just trying to figure out how/where I'm going to use each one.
For the guys who one stick, do you:
1. Use your rappel rope for
a.) tether
b.) lineman
c.) rappel only
2. For those who use it as the tether, do you
2a.) back it up, if so with what
and
2b.) what do use for clipping in at hunting height and rappelling
a.) madrock for both
b.) madrock for descending, other for hunting
c.) other and other
