Main line setup when chogging

[nuttap2000]

When I was learning about using chainsaw in a tree and having to knock the top out i was always told to have my main line around the stem below my steel strop but I have recently been told about using a running bowliine around the stem and a friction hitch with more wraps below the running bowline so that if you cut through your strop you would fall on to your hitch and be able to get out the tree. I have heard it from a few people but I can't find any legislation or guidance regarding this, does anyone know where this information is?

I think there is reference to that system in a guide to good tree climbing practice handbook, not sure but I think its and AA booklet.

I use my rope guide for it, but i need to find written documents regarding this single line if i can because it will be extremely useful for my dissertation.
