Then every climber will need three of them. One for the AFC, one for the lanyard, and one for the climbing hitch.

We(arborist's)need a prussic replacement for these three spots, a tool that will work for all three applications. It would be a money maker, if someone could come up with such a tool.

I mentioned th long lanyard to Tobe while they were doing the last catalog. He uses a mesh bag to tend the running end of is lanyard when rec climbing.

I keep the daisey cahin on 2 biners on the gear loop of my saddle I keep enough out of it so that I have a droop on each end of the Grillon coming to my boot top, gives me maybe 3.5-4 yards to play with before messing with the chains. But then my legs are over a yard long.

Mike Wendt ties it up in a double fishemans loop of throwline and pulls-tucks as needed, I think I seen a guy do the same with a bungey.

i've tried a throwline prusik for this slack 'tending', but then went this way: (picture).

i think anything that traps the free end could be a problem, but then i'm the only dumb-me using 3 strand, so am the one more sensitive to that issue (of twists getting loccked in).
