On sit #4 in my first saddle. I find myself leaning way more than sitting. I think the factory phantom bridge is most comfortable at almost full length. With tension on the factory prusik that's on the tether, I would say my carabiner is 7-8 inches from the bottom of the prusik. With tether at forehead and prusik at the top, I still feel like there would be situations I would want to be tighter to the tree.

A- dont worry about it, it's plenty tight
B- untie and shorten up the knot in prusik
C- buy a 2nd ropeman 1

Ropeman questions:
How does the giant Tethrd tree tether perform with ropeman 1? Is ropeman rated and safe for non-tension shock? -like climbing onto platform then falling off without tension

As far as ropeman question, I put my tether on and connect to my bridge but I also keep my linesman on and under tension when climbing onto the platform and until my tether is completely set to my liking. Usually need to raise it higher once on the platform. Then I’ll start releasing presure and disconnect my linesman belt.

Also, I vote C. I really like my ropeman on the tether.

Yes I also use lineman's until situated. Do you use one of those giant Tethrd tree tether or a smaller rope?

I have used the Tethrd brown/orange tree tether with Ropeman 1. Looked in to Oplux with Kong for smaller profile but haven’t decided to pull the trigger yet.
