Roping Limbs

Im wondering what tecniques other climbers use for roping
down limbs. What kind of knot do you use. Or do you use
a rope clip? When hanging several limbs, ive always used
a Clove Hitch on each limb, then just clip the final limb
with my rope snap. But in "Fundementals of General Tree Work"
there is an picture of someone roping down several
Pine limbs with simply just one wrap on each limb. Or
HALF of a clove hitch. Then the tail of the rope, on the
last limb was tied off regular. Has anyone ever tried this?
