I have been using 8' sections of Arbormaster with a spliced eye around the rope clip and a prusik loop on a clip to adjust length. I put a figure 8 in the other end of the AM as the stopper. This is my secondary tie in while I am cutting up in the tree with my climbing line typically set in a high crotch and connected to my saddle using the Blake's setup with a split tail. My climbing line is AM but a different color from the flipline setup so I dont get I took a bit of a drop the other day and my flipline bore the brunt of the fall and I ate a lot of bark The prusik was pretty burned up and cinched up tight to the 8 which was nearly impossible to untie. I cut the clips off and I am making the same setup but would like some suggestions for better quality Prusik loop line (Ice? HRC? Ultra-Tech)and or mech. adj. Does anyone use the 2 in 1 flipline setup? I stopped about a couple of feet straddling a lower limb...that could have been one hell of a crotch hop! OUCH!
