Thanks for the video on options. I have some webbing and sewed this up real quick. Haven't tested it and want to figure out a strap to synch it at the tree to hold it in place.
Update: first climb didn't go as planned. Luckily I was just climbing about 10ft. First issue, leg strap wouldn't stay in place on my leg. Then I couldn't get my foot in and out of the foot loop on the movable aider. Standing up on it while holding back of the tree with other leg was easy, but then I found i couldn't lift my tether very far cause it was trying to lift my other leg. It got dark, so I quit. More testing is needed.

@Red Beard @always89y what do you do to get your long tether out of the way when at height and setup?
Not real sure I understand your question. Maybe this picture will help though. This is from a few days ago. Notice the water bottle pouch hangs from one of the TATs (upper left hand corner of the photo).

Where did you get the 3d printed hooks?
Hey friend! Austin over at Genesis 3D Printing sells them.
You a lefty @Red Beard?
Yessir!
Edit: well I'm a righty but I switched to shooting a bow left handed a few years ago because I'm left-eye dominant.

Sorry I meant long prusik (for leg loop)....but it looks like you just let it hang and continue as your stopper knot. Thanks
Ahh gotcha. Yeah it makes a great handle if I need to adjust later!
i figured because of the placement of your bow

Same
Now that I have a good number of climbs using the 2 tether climbing method, I thought I would post a video of thoughts and observations.

Platform climbing no good?
Edit: I mean't why 2TC and not platform climb. Which is better and why?
