I feel like I have figured out the easiest method for the one stick climbing and rappel method. I've been doing this for one season and am never going back. I hope this helps someone!
MY SETUP
- Saddle (H2) https://www.h2saddles.com/
- Rope (40 ft of 8mm Oplux for rappeling and tether) https://bit.ly/3A72W3p
- Prusik Cord (Beal Kevlar 5.5mm Cordelette) https://bit.ly/3rVACOl
- Pull Rope (40 ft of paracord w/ weight & carabiner) https://bit.ly/3CjdIFq
- Pouches for storing rope https://bit.ly/3lDpm8a
- Belay Device https://amzn.to/3xovSlE
- Carabiner (For ropeman 1 & balay device) https://amzn.to/3yoKsel
NOTE ^ You can get away with running 8mm and 9mm rope on a Ropeman One with a larger diameter carabiner. That is what i run.

MY KNOTS
The knot i use for tying in all my carabiners in is the Scaffold Knot. It's extremely safe and will never come loose. https://bit.ly/3fxDZWV
For jointing two ends of a rope together like I do to make my prusik cords, I use a slip knot tied to each end and pulled tight. https://bit.ly/3fwMAJl
