I your lineman’s belt is girth hitches could that not be your suspension relief strap? I’d that and try to get ahold of a stick.

Hss ultra lite is all I useWhat would you recommend? I have a Big Game harness which the LB are too low. I've also used a saddle which I enjoyed for comfort/function but of course safety issue and I believe I had an increase wear issue. HHS harness? One of the new hybrid/RC harness?
I agree, I ran a RCH for years back when I used a climber. It’s not hard to keep your tether snug and out the way just underneath your arm.I have been using a Petzl RCH for years and like the safety it provides me. I did add linesman loops to it to facilitate setting sticks/stand. I started just using my tether as I went up but like the LB much better. I like laying my stick across the LB to prep it for hanging. At height I have a 70cm Beal Dynaglide attached up front and it rides under my right arm to my tether. When I sit in my stand the tether is snug so I can not fall father than my seat. If I do fall I will automaticly be turned facing the tree and can easily get back on the stand, onto a stick or use my extra daisy chain to self rescue. I never felt comfortable with the idea of hanging by a strap behind my head that I could not reach.
