How do you secure your Port A Wrap?

I usually use a timber hitch as you can see by the photo on the left. However no matter how tight it starts it usually becomes loose after a few lumps have been loaded on it (no matter how many wraps I put on it).

 

HOW DO YOU ATTACH YOURS.....Photos would be appreciated.

 

PS. I usually use poly prop for lowering and on the tree.

Whoopee sling choking the portawrap as close to the stem as possible. Alternatively tie a Cow Hitch with your dead eye sling you use for your timber hitch. I would never used Polyproplene rope for rigging with a Portawrap and pulleys.
