Great wealth of info here! Wow! I learned more from this one article than I did in the last 6 months! Thanks! However, maybe we can re-title it, "Noobs Start here." I almost skipped over it.

Late reply, but short answer: some people do, others don't. Some people even have 2 simultaneous tethers at hunting height - one for positioning, the other for backup and descent. It's good to have a redundant tether for bypassing branches, and it's also good to have a quick escape system ready to deploy. You'll have to play around at/near ground level to figure out what you're most comfortable with.Question for 1 stick climbers. Do you you the Rappel rope as your tether when you reach full height?
I do, but have done both. I keep my rope wrapped in a Beaston pouch, cept about 6’ that has a bunch of stuff attached…..this section is secured in the middle of pouch walking in. On the end is my oval, then tether handles(2), then ropeman w/biner, then a prussik cord pre wrapped……it’s a lot, I knowQuestion for 1 stick climbers.
