I use the 8 setup you show as a redirect as a main tie-in all the time. Really nice way to get your tie-in higher in the canopy with configurations for support, load sharing, or backup of the tie-in that wouldn’t be reasonable otherwise. Great video, ❤ the 8 as a tool on my harness!
In the summer put one on a rope cinched round trunks if you cut into a bees nest you can undo flip line and rappel at high speed without burning through your hitch ....unless you have a mechanical device of course .but an 8 is 20 times cheaper than those .stay safe folks.
You can also use it for when you have a spar you have chunked down to a height you can drop from from the ground, and theres nowhere to tie in and descend. You tie the rope that you're going to use to pull the trunk over with onto the top and use the figure 8 to descend down the pull line instead of spiking down. Or if you have a tree that would be easier to spike up and set a pull line than messing with a throw line. Just use the figure 8 to descend the line instead of getting out your climbing gear and rope.
@lawbird5803 for tree climbing it's perfect. Short distance runs. No more than 100 ft usually. If I was on longer distance on rock, I'd definitely use a more suitable descender.
I really like the lanyard-tending option, will apply that immediately, great tip.

Never think about using a figure 8. I like the idea of tending the excess on the flipline
I cant say where i first saw it done, nor take credit. But was worth the share none the less
Loved the music! Enjoyed the look after positioning lanyard suggestion. Thank you for sharing
Thanx for the positive thoughts
Definitely a prusik saver when you need to bomb out.

Useful device - dont leave home without one😊
i think you could use it to turn your lanyard into a cinching srt line
The older I get the older I pray..God bless you
Штош! Выглядит вполне безопасно, что может пойти не так, правда?
(Это был сарказм)
Munter hitch on my bino, 🎉and I'm outta there. Less gear.
I don't know how you americans can have so much stuff on your harness
Not all of us. 🎉 I just use Munter on a bino.
@@FT4Freedom That's the other extreme I guess.
Inspector gadget or full caveman.
I you manage to make that work I'm impressed bro
