New to climbing. Been doing tree removals that I can do with spikes and 5/8 x 12' wirecore flipline. I have been using an 8' foot lanyard with a prusik as second lanyard. It is always too short and the prusik can be hard to move. I made a second lanyard with a 20' length of 1/2 Arbormaster and a pair of Buckingham swivel clips. Prusik is 9/16 three strand from my Beranek lanyard. Used Buntline knots and taped the tag end with fiberglass insulating tape. Is this going to be ok? I put on my harness and hung from a low branch. Seems to hold ok and have to push the prusik pretty good to move it. Needed something longer for second tie in and redirect.
