New fella here and 1st post. After lurking and gathering information. I now have a question around tree tethers.
being new to saddles and ropes in this manner (life support). It’s hard for my brain to wrap around (no pun intended) the security of a girth hitch for a tree tether. I have on order a 10mm Sterling static rope (ordered with my cruzr xc saddle).
What safety precautions or redundant setups could I use for a tree tether? Wrapping the tree twice girth hitch? The concern is how secure the girth hitch is and my brain tends to think it could loosen up and then slide down the tree.
