I made my first trip up a tree using Hawk Helium's and Sit Drag + Harness combo. I used the One Stick Method and found it surprisingly easy. At about 15' up I got to a branch that I had to pass my tether over. When connecting my Lineman's belt as an intermediate connection to the tree I attached both ends via carabineer to the belay loop, as the gear loops are non-load bearing. This worked for the purpose of temporarily being connected to the tree. But, where would you attach the Lineman's Belt if not using the One Stick Method?
