Wondering what peoples thoughts are on the idea of using a daisy chain as a tether. My thought would be to girth hitch it around the tree then pick whichever spot (below the girth hitch obviously) for a caribeaner and clip your bridge into the beaner.
It would be more difficult to adjust, but maybe just have a second caribeaner to move up or down a spot on the daisy chain and clip into bridge, then remove other caribeaner.
My thought is that a the daisy chain could be made from webbing or amsteel?? It would be less bulk and less weight. Would it still be a safe option?? I'm thinking so because you would be removing a prusik or ropeman (one less thing to fail?) and clipping straight to the daisy chain.
I could be way off on this but I thought I'd put it out there and see what everyone else's thoughts are on it. Obviously safety is #1. If it aint safe its a no go for sure. But if it is safe, I hardly adjust my tether once I'm settled in, so why not go with something that is less bulk.
