Abstract

An adjustable tethering system is disclosed that includes a primary line, a secondary line, and a bail release feature. The secondary line is wound about the primary line to form a frictional locking arrangement that resists translation of the secondary line along the primary line when tension is applied. The bail release feature is operable to be manipulated by a user to reduce the constriction of the windings about the primary line, thereby enabling controlled transition of the system from a secured state to a state in which the secondary line can translate along the primary line.
