Single device for ascending and descending (rappel)

I sure that is correct arborist ropes are better and hTp 9 mm sounds great but I have hunted 7 times this fall. So the wear on my rope compared to someone who uses it daily is large. I don’t carry a chain saw to the tree either

Now my corn is done I hope to double my fall hunting. From 7 days to 14. Still maybe 3 weeks of wear for an arborist

Oplux 8 mm or 8 mm ultra tech are lighter and more compact

Figure 8 tied off as an auto stop. Doesn’t matter the rope size, soon as you let go, locks up. Can easily be used for both climbing up and rappelling down. It’s what I use along with a back up prusik cord. See last option from RopeLab to see how it works.

I know this is an older thread, but i really like the simplicity of this set up. Could you DM me some more pics.. and is this where the figure 8 is sideways and you pull down to rappel and let go to stop?
 
Oh.. and do you have it set like that from the ground? So both the prusik and tge figure 8 are capturing progress? Or does the figure 8 go on only when descending?
