One Stick Fail

I remember reading in a thread about the danger of moving your tether up with your fingers between the rope and the tether and thinking "that won't be problem for me, I can't see that happening, etc". I have learned differently. Hog hunting yesterday and was about 15-20 feet up and moving the...

It's a piece of cake!

So I don’t see many people using 8mm and 6mm ropes for 2tether. Why is that? Are larger diameter ropes easier to work with? I only ask because I considered making a set specifically for 2tether. Thanks!
