Tether handles

[mattpsu1]

Whatcha got? Looking for something other then just the zip ties. Any suggestions?

I made amsteel loops with a small chunk of fuel line for a handle. I girth hitched them on each side

I did the same with 1 inch webbing and garden hose.

I like the arrow shafts, but I shortened them since this picture.

I just use 650 paracord closed in a bend, with whatever you have that you like.

I 3d printed some thumb hooks.

Overhand knot some tubular webbing and girth hitch onto the tether.

I found that using webbing only for handles creates a lot of friction, especially if my ropes got a little bit of sap on them. Adding a piece of 1/2" PEX helped a lot and made it nice and smooth. I used these all last season, lots of climbs, worked great. I stitched them after gluing, but I'm not sure it was necessary.

Looks like your stitching should be sufficient for the usage.

I switched from amsteel dogbones to 1/8 bungee. On tight enough not to move until you need it to.

I hate to admit how dumb I am. What are tether handles used for?

So you can adjust and move your tether up the tree without putting your hands/fingers between the tether and the tree, in the event there is a fall and the tether is suddenly snapped tight, wedging your fingers between the tree and tether. Or worse.

I run these:

TAU (Tether Adjustment Unit) | Innovating the Outdoors | Innovating the Outdoors

Sold in a pair (2 TAU's per order) The Tether Adjustment Unit or known as the TAU is a tether adjustment T-handle that allows the hunter to advance their tether up the tree without pinching their fingers in between their tether and the tree. This is a risk that we hated seeing in all of the one...

I drew up and printed some stuff but haven’t used them. I’d think just a cord with 2-3 inches heat shrink in the middle would do the trick?

What’s been the best tether moving handles for everyone thus far?

 

[huntin_addict]

Simple paracord loops.
