Ok, on the tree side it is no doubt will save from wearing, but since I need to start rappelling from the ground on top I cannot have slings, etc. overhanging the edge, so it still would be rope (with protection), no? No. My standard anchor for going over an edge. Military spec one inch tubular webbing is cheap and replaceable:
In reply to: cracklover wrote: I would probably do something similar to what you have, but in place of the fig-8s on each tree, I would simply clove hitch each tree. Also clear for two trees, but what would you use for third fig8, which equalizes the load (in my understanding) A fig-8 where you have it there seems fine. GO
