If you get in a pickle, there is no way of cutting your line to escape if your using your side D's.

Never had the need to do this myself.

Anyway, I don’t think you need a swivel on the ‘not permanently clipped in end’ but it’s better on the thing that slides along the rope, I used a maillon link to attach a swivel to that.

 

(hope picture helps) 

Haven't seen one of those strops for a while, you old dinosaur ?

 

Thats still one of the best rope grabs on the market though even after all these years. I don't think that designs changed in 25 years?

I guess you mean a soft link, of rope or something.

 

No, don’t have one, not something I’d worry about, but I take your point.

It’s my second one, HBs don’t sell them anymore apparently, I like the girth.

he could undo his mallion, just carry a spanner up the tree instead of a knife!

I don't have a soft link either

Try it with normal karabiner, ive always used a normal, doesnt seem to be a bother

I use a standard 3 way locking Krab on my wire core, secured with a couple of heavy duty zip ties crossed over at the base to ensure the gate is always right way round when you throw it round the back of the tree.
