Mainly gets used for a top anchor.

 

Just set it so the back of the pin is against the trunk.  I fail to see how it could come open.  
 

I also make sure I set it with the pin in my climbing end, not in the alpine.  That way it just spins when you retrieve it.

At least your honest about taking an age to pass 30-40 metres of rope through a ring.  
 

I get setting it from the floor but how would you do that if you were already aloft and wanted to change base tie to a top anchor?

When did I say I stand there feeding 30-40metre through a ring up the tree? If I need to advance my tie in. I’ll tie a running bowline from the ground and either clip in a small retrieval line or use the tail. Depending on the size of the tree.

Just wondering how you would use the ring.

 

As the conversation was about using a quickie for top anchors.  If a ring had been used in that way for a top anchor which is retrievable you would have to pass the climbing end of the line through the ring.  25m tree and maybe another 15 metre if it is a wide crown and you might use a couple of redirects.

 

I wasn’t referring to advancing you anchor.  In the scenario of getting top anchor with a throw line but deciding to change to a canopy anchor.  I pull a bit of slack though, enough to tie a alpine butterfly and the use the quickie and it’s done.

 

How would ring be used in that scenario?

In that scenario then I suppose the quickie would be better than a ring. But there is the pinto tie in. 
Personally though I choose not to base tie and rarely do so. So I’ve never came across the situation I needed to swap
