ok, now I get it. Thanks Sean.

The name "Tensionless" has been deprecated. However, suggestions for some alternative, e.g., "High Strength Tie-Off", or "Multi-Wrap Anchor", have not gained favor – for the obvious reason that "Tensionless" is in widespread use. source: http://www.animatedknots.com/tensionless/

None taken, I just appreciate the feedback, although we need a smiley for "way over my head". Bottom line, I don't know if I was really trying to 'gain' anything. I just want to be confident that it's not going to fail on me. @RopeArmour - interesting indeed. As one commenter put it...

That was exactly what I was thinking, and I don't know squat. Logically it seems like any more than 3 wraps is really not adding any safety factor, IMIO.

Seemed like a good idea at the time. I dunno.

Great book, I own it but admit I've only skimmed bits n pieces. Page 272 is relevant to this thread.

Good advice, agreed! I'll put another in there.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was swinging around a couple feet off the ground, and I don't think side loading will happen. The fact that it's only 15 ft up, and thus I can always see it, makes me comfortable. Every 5 ft multiplies the torque? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLYiv0F3cSY

Hi Treehousers Is there any danger of using this, versus a wrap 3 pull 2? I looked it up in the Tree Climber's Companion, and it don't mention either one. It's only 15 ft high, just to get to my zip line. Thanks!!:occasion5:
