So I went for an hunt 4 hours from home near my daughters house because we had to be there for the weekend for a grandbaby dedication. It was the first hunt of the year and I forgot my lifeguard and my figure 8 and any extra carabiners. I know it was stupid but it happened. They were all in the same bag and I forgot and left the bag laying on the back porch. Problem is I didn't realize I didn't have them in my hunting pack until I had already one-stick up the tree and was preparing my oplux rope to rappel down. I use a different tether(dynamic rope) because I one-stick. So instead of trying to reverse one-stick down the tree I decided to use my carabiner from my tether and use a munter hitch to rappel down the tree. No issue it worked great but the question I have is what is the best way to tie off a munter to be able to go hands free to remove the stick one you have rappelled that 2 or 3 feet to the stick. I did it all with one hand on the tag end and one hand on the stick but would have been a lot easier if i could have used both hands to remove the stick and wrap the aider up and all. Long post for a short question, sorry. What is the best way to tie off a munter hitch?
