Hi i am fairly new to tree work however i have been using a friction knot on a single half inch dynamic line. It works ok but the rope heats up and its kind of a shaky set up i think. I would like to get a device to decend with but i dont want anything that is A) a huge hassle to put in midline while i am up a tree B) Wrong for use in tree work. Also i worry about wearing my rope really quickly is it a good idea to use a pulley hooked to a lanyard around a limb to descend or just use while working in the tree or should i stick to just throwing the rope around a crotch? Would a belay device be a good idea for what i am doing? Thanks
