My mistake for not understanding the obvious. I'd didn't understand the relationship between lifeline and climb line.

My approach to learning this is to have myself on belay by a trusted ground man with a "lifeline" attached to my full fall harness, with the D ring between my shoulder blades.

I'll use another rope as my "climb line" and practice self belay techniques with that. You have to remember that I'm a total rookie with tree gear and am not up to speed about even the proper terminology, much less it's proper use. I have a lot to learn.
