I was watching some videos on tethers and it mentioned to put a figure 8 on a bight in the end of your tree tether and clip into your carabiner, is this something that most people do? I see the advantage from a safety standpoint but does the tether tag end more around to much and get in the way if you clip it in?

Figure 8 on a bight

I use a Alpine butterfly instead of a figure 8 on my tail end as a safety backup. This also keeps the tail end from swinging around it the wind. On my lineman belt I use a figure 8 like Drew does from wild edge as a back up.
Good luck! JJ

Do you just have one tied into the end of your rope or tie one in every time your are in the tree since the tether length might change?
I tie Alpine butterfly every time. It's a easy knot to tie midline.
