Yes short for carabiner, also you can use a sling with a crab on the end choked round the branch. If you carry a couple it can speed the job up

Yes and no in my opinion, make sure your slings are rated to what your cutting. I always use half hitch to a timber hitch on big stuff, but that's how I as taught it was 14 years ago though
