dont want to go overboard with it ,but will if i have to to be the safest. looking for a fool proof setup not something that takes 15yrs experience to tie into.
As has been said there is no such thing as fool proof, they keep making smarter fools to do dumber stuff. Having said that there is no hitch that takes 15yrs to learn to tie.if you can count to five you can tie into a Hitch Hiker. They do take a little to figure out, but that is a great device.

Spend a little time playing around in a tree using just a basic hitch. That way you will always be able to get down safely with just a rope and saddle. After a couple of weekends of that, you can start getting serious about adding gear.
