Yes, that and using the s biners as tether advance devicesYou mean you’re dual purposing the tether for a gear hanger with s-hooks?

I like that idea. I would want something I grab onto and not put my fingers inside. If a slip happens when there inside a little loop then hanging from your fingers doesn't sound like fun to me. I'd rather let the harness and bridge catch meI had an order into Tethrd and I added on a few of their keychains. All it seems to be is a hollow cover of their rope, maybe its sewn together prior to heat shrinking it. They make great hitch tenders, but I think could work for this application also. I haven't tried, but it could be DIY'ed pretty easy. I threw out the actual keyring part of it.

I've used my s-biners on my tether for adjusting it, then they are already on my tether when I need them too. They slide fine for adjusting
I like to use multiple ropes/tethers, so I wanted to be able to keep tether tenders in my dump pouch and use with whatever I was climbing on that day. Made these because I didn’t like sticking my finger in the off side of the s biner as it’s not overly comfortable. So far, these have worked great and can do double duty by moving them to my gear hanger (don’t like weight on my tether).
I had the same thought and tried that design, but the paracord just stretches too much. It just would bite down super hard in the girth around the rope and not follow the fob to open up the tether choke unless you really really pulled. A different material like DynaGlide or something low stretch might be the ticket for that.Very cool idea.....you could also make the loops on the paracord fobs longer, eliminate the s-biners, and just girth hitch the fobs around your tether. Less weight on the tether and no metal, though more awkward to remove would be the tradeoff.

I may just have to try that when the weather warms up and I start trying 1-sticking.

They are AHHH-mazing. Big boy approvedGave some Genesis 3D TATs to @Recoveringwithcurs today. Think he liked them.
Yep. A stopper knot impeding the advancement of your tether is a real thing. I cut a bit of leather and used it as a washer. In the end, it came back off because of the very thing you described above. Think I'll just implement a great tie when I getto hunting height.Today I tried some paracord pulls with shorter girth tails. Still a no-go. But I realized maybe a big part of my problem could be the rubber fender washer below my quick link. Since I’ve been using my tether as my rappel line, I prefer having the quick link rather than pulling the rope all the way through a girth hitch around the tree. But the fender washer works too well and won’t let rope pass up to allow me to advance the tether. Anybody else run into this? I think girth hitched in a figure eight, tether handles could work, but maybe not with a quick link?
And spursThis may be a hazard specific to one sticking.

Today I tried my paracord pulls without the rubber washer, and so therefore without the quick link. They actually worked moderately well, and pulling the entire rappel rope through wasn’t as annoying as I thought it’d be. I’d miss the ability to go around branches though. Will have to give this some more thought.Yep. A stopper knot impeding the advancement of your tether is a real thing. I cut a bit of leather and used it as a washer.
