Alternative to tether for lone wolf climber method

[Ghetto]

I saw a safety harness that was used for climbing stands that could be used in place of a tether when climbing with the hand climber. Essentially a variation of a tree squeeze I believe.

Can someone help me with the name of it?

I want to be more efficient climbing.

The fastest way I've been able to climb with a LWHC is by crossing my Linesman belt into an X. Kind of works like a tree squeeze. Works pretty good going up. Coming down it's weird. Forming an X makes it where you just stand up, flip the line up, sit back down, raise platform, repeat.

Yes the a “Q Safe”.

Thank you.

I think I will order one in the morning unless someone can talk me out if it

I like to climb high up aggravating pine trees and I think this will help.

Does that work pretty good if you climbing a tree with limbs, to lean back and undo the belt to get above the limb

Your gonna need a second Linesman/tether to get around limbs with any climbing method so that you are always tethered into the tree. I don't always do it but you definitely should.

Got ya, I'll have to practice in the yard before I go to the woods and try it

FYI. I purchased a Q safe and was disappointed with it. It works great with trees the size of a telephone pole and not very well with any other size. I used it a few times and then threw it in the trash. That was my experience with it.

I may try crossing the linesman’s belt method first I reckon.
