I had a question about the safety of tying a TR anchor off of 2 trees with limited webbing. Ideally I know I should get static line. However, would it be safe to use a single strand of webbing like in these following examples? I have Freedom of the Hills Vol8 but could not find anything about this.
Let's assume the trees are solid but about 6" in diameter, so two trees would be ideal.
This first system is essentially tying a figure8 on a bight on each of the trees and throwing a master point in the middle of the single strand that is going between the two trees. This uses one piece of webbing for the whole system (I would back it up somehow - how would you back it up?)

This second system is for when a really long extended TR anchor is needed:
Pretty much tying two figure8s on either end of the single strand of webbing, around each tree. Would use two locking biners opposite and opposed.
I reason that with the single strand, there is a similar amount of security using an equalette on a multi pitch climb. What are your thoughts MP?
