Need some input on my tree tether...

[As in a sling]

So I’ve run out of time to eye splice my rope for a tree tether before I go hunting this weekend and I’m not comfortable rushing it. So I need some input on what type of knot to use to make my tree tether with half inch double braid rope. Thanks in advance folks. Happy hunting this season.

A figure 8 on a bight. It is what I use on my rope.

Do I need any stopper knot on the loose end ?

Yes stopper knot is important. I use the figure 8 on a bight on both ends because I run my tag end back up and hook into my biner as a backup.

Right, so my old tether is basically like what you’re saying, a figure 8 on both ends. My tag end has a loop because my saddle is a rock harness with center loop. That’s hooked up and my bridge is hooked to the tether on a prusik. I was wondering if there was any other knot I might not know of that would be better.

Thanks everyone so far for the replies.

I use figure 8 with double overhand knot over standing line.
