I am new to saddle hunting this year but have been reading this site for quite some time prior to taking the plunge. Recently, I have been reading a lot of threads about redundancy within your saddle hunting set up. My question is as follows: Does anyone use their lineman's belt to backup the system by adding an extra prusik knot to the tree tether above your prusik or Ropeman used for adjusting your length? Essentially, you would have the linemans belt attached on one side of your saddle to the top prusik and the bridge attached to the lower prusik or ropeman.
It seems to me that the only single failure point of the system would be the tree tether severing above your secondary prusik which seems like the least likely part of the saddle hunting system to fail. I do realize you would be hanging from the tree extremely awkwardly if something went wrong but you would at least be hanging and not on the ground.
Thoughts?
