If you have a large enough loop or eye on one end, send it around the tree normally, in either direction. With the other side of the rope, just form a loop, or byte, and stick it through the center of your loop or eye. Next, with that D-link, or in my case a carabiner, clip it OVER both strands of the loop/eye and BEHIND your byte. Tug/cinch it to the tree. There more than enough friction in that so it won't loosen up. At least not without being intentional about it. Cost you an extra carabiner, easy to do in the dark, gives you someplace to hang stuff, offers a quick disconnect and gives you an extra carabiner for unforeseen" circumstances. (NOTE: Good for a tether, not useful for one-sticking).
I'm a tree care professional and saddle Hunter, and I have to say: the amount of unnecessary gear available is ludicrous. You can accomplish the same thing by learning how to tie a clove hitch.
I ordered one of these from you guys and had in my hand in 3 days.y’all are on the ball…good job!!!
Thanks a lot!
Just girth hitch the tether in its own loop and it's locked...

Problem with that is when you go to rappel down and retrieve your rope.
why would you want to tie a knot when you can just clip this on? you knot guys are weird lol
