Mission for the win

I got inspired by kenn1320 post. Used Wild Edge step rope to make a 1-piece hanging aider/camming preventer loop (fed through a splice around the platform to lock the lengths of both). I also used the WE rope to make a whoopie sling to replace the cam buckle strap. Haven't tried it on a tree yet, but I think this will work for 1-sticking. I may also use another aider on a tether as a second step, but still just use the Mission rigged like this as my single stick.

This seems a little unsafe to me. I have been using two sticks with a moveable aider that I then use on my predator platform as well, thus giving me almost the equivalent of three sticks. However, I always make sure that the platform is cammed over and biting into the tree with no slippage possible. If you are preventing the platform from camming over, aren't you increasing the risk of it slipping on you?
