There are mid line attachmentable DEVICES however...voila!

 

I bought one of those Mick - but turns out the RC 2001 works just fine at 20m above ground level - so the AFB went back unused

a problem i can see with that device is not being able to take wraps off under load,  whereas a portawrap or bollard you can put on too many wraps to start with and then remove them if needs be. plus the climber will need to keep going back to the device to adjust the amount of wraps on it.

Who's gonna haul a lump like that up a tree?..

I suppose with experience you'd come to know how many raps your likely to need on it..

It lives at the base of the tree.  Like friction devices are supposed to.

Seems more suitable to be used from a platform, as shown in the videos.  

It's a different way of working, doesn't seem appealing to me though.
