Talk to DanO at Eastern woods outdoors. He will have what you need and also steer you in the right direction. He set me up with 6mm trc and a distel hitch with a 3D printed tender. Haven’t played with it much but what little I did I liked it.

@ Judd1980 "I’ve been using Beal Kevlar 5.5 Cordelette from EWO. It’s the same material as the Beal Jammy."
Do you know the minimal breaking strength of the 5.5 cord? The Jammy is 22KN witch is just below the the thresh hold for life support and in a doubled configuration. I like the Idea, but not sure the strength is sufficient for safe climbing unless you have professionally sewn eye to eye in each end. If you tie your own the knot will decrease strength by 40%. Beal Jammy is sewn closed loop. I think I would opt for the 6 mm TRC as I would well be within ANSI standards for arborists.
I believe his point is that tying your own knot will decrease the strength quite dramatically.It’s the same material that the Beal jammy is made from.

Maybe someone can help educate me.
If TRC has an MBS of 3484 (15.5 in) and Beal 5.5 has an MBS of 4046 (1800 daN), isn’t the Beal stronger? I understanding losing strength with knots. I made the assumption people are tying knots with the TRC as well. Clearly I have some learning to do. Thankful for these forums with people more knowledgeable than myself!
