What size Hero/Clips are you guys using?

Also - an inexpensive solution for $9 a pair of 76" daisy chains --> (now I might get banned from the site for this) yoga stretch bands (which I assume are designed to be used to stretch while wearing Lululemon's). Basically web loops.

Those yoga DCs are basically the same as climbing DCs. Also, I’m using the Medium HeroClip
 
I gots a piece of that there spider webbing, from durchware. It works good.
 
I’m using this hammocking sling. The sling is almost just like the sewn webbing from tethered that G2 is saying you can make yourself. It needs added strap length for bigger trees. But I attached part of a cam buckle to add that length and it lets me tighten it up plenty enough for my backpack and heroclip/bow.

If you have a decent length of thin rope you can make a daisy chain of loops using the alpine butterfly knot

How to Tie a Butterfly Knot? Uses & Easy Step-By-Step Instructions

A useful midline knot, the butterfly knot has its uses in glacier travel and rock climbing, where it is often used to tie the climber in the middle. It is also known as the Alpine butterfly knot and Lineman’s loop. Counted among the most secure knots, it can be done in just three steps, as […]

Looking for some ideas for public-land-legal gear hangers, and of course I’ve seen the daisy chain webbing on doublesteps, which is not even backorderable even though the pop-up says they’re in stock. I’ve also seen the versa-straps and @g2outdoors diy webbing hanger.
So...
Found these on Amazon. Anyone use them/similar for gear hanger?

2 daisy chain 23kN rated straps. I have these two in gray and put a length of tubular webbing with a climb rated cinch buckle and a carabiner. For 18.00 (70") and 20.00 for the climb rated cinch buckle and wire carabiners rated for 20kN. 40.00 for two and with a cheaper non climb rated cinch buckle that you use on a hammock you can make your own for roughly 25.00 and that's for two verses 25.00 for one from tethered. I have nothing against tethered. I bought their predator, predator bag, tether and lineman's belt...just wanted to give someone a chance to DIY.

Like you all I have found the climbing daisy chain to be useful. It’s a little short at 48” but I don’t hunt huge trees and can “daisy chain” two together around bigger trunks. I have also found that it works as:
Moveable aider
Backup tether (not primary life support per se, just tying from my bridge loop to my rope or carabiner for a little experiment)
Back rest
Stick carrying strap
Haven’t tested this one yet, but hopefully I’ll get to try it as a deer drag :smilingimp:.

I was hanging in a tree two days ago with my paracord gear hanger and it was drooping severely. My pack is getting heavier.
I bought these daisy chains in the past. Can't beat $6 each. I will try them when deer season starts tomorrow.
 
I’m using an extra 7/64 Amsteel daisy chain with the Nite Ize CamJam XT, lightweight and plenty strong. Added a few J hooks from @DanO for my backpack and WE bag and a hero clip for my bow. D6A93FE6-DB6A-45B9-8A83-CC91EB88290D.jpeg

The way you hung your stuff shwon in the picture, how is your pack not falling to the ground when you pick up your bow?

It’s hard to see but I clipped my HeroClip to both loops’ webbing. The pack is the anchor weight for the bow and the HeroClip keeps the DC from sliding through by cinching the end loop into the other loop.
I have also done it by wrapping the end loop through the other loop twice, then clipping that whole thing together.
 
I made one with 550 cord and loops every few inches. It works great and then I left it in the woods.

I need one before I can hunt again, so I made my own webbing daisy chain /hys strap last night. It should do do the job for me quite well. I added a permanent hook close to my attachment point that will hold my bow just fine!
I will try and post a picture later!
 
I made one out of paracord and loop the long end through the first loop and hang my pack from the long end. Put's my pack a little lower where I want it and keeps enough weight on it to keep it tight.

Also built another out of para using 2 CamJams, facing opposite directions, one to tighten around the tree and the other to hang the pack from on the long end.

Both work just fine.

Update: I hate the webbing daisy chain gear holder I made. The webbing just doesnt bite the tree as well and slides down sometime and is just finicky, not to mention pretty bulky to carry along.

Paracord with some loops and a accessory bungee allows me to go around basically any size tree and the paracord can get super tight to the tree. Also takes up minimal room in any pack or pouch you throw it in.
I went back and found the one I left in the woods.
 
The daisy chain worked well and especially to find tree again in heavy brush.
Used in tree to hang pack and bow.

After descent after deer had been hit.

Used to mark tree where deer was when hit. Bungee cord was good to keep it up.

Deer and xbow.

Has anyone found what they deem a superior option to the heroclip yet?
