I only use the body weight rappell haul off the ground. Too much could go wrong and those little fifi hook never inspire much confidence nor does the prussik. My opinion anyways.

here is what i use for setting the bags onto.
this thing is great for setting up rope solo haul-bags on a hook! beware the hook will grab onto anything so i would not recommend using it. just go back down the line a re-clean shit!

Dear god, if there had been a diagram like that in Robbins Basic Rock Climbing I would have quit right then and there. I don't know if I was safe or stupid without all of that ...

It does work. But it's not worth the bother. Therefore, it doesn't work. At least for me.

But the solo tag rack has always worked pretty well for me.
