Can you descend with 2 ropes through an 8?
Planning on putting the rope around a tree and descending with both ends through the 8 so that I can pull the rope down from the bottom. Haven't seen or heard of anyone doing it like that before, but it makes sense to me.
@Diptchip That's absolutely common practice when rockclimbing. The 8 is more and more displaced by tube/autotube though. (Sorry for digging up your old post :) )
@kahlb I really appreciate your response. Happy to hear I've got everything I need. Thank you!
Appearently you can.

Now I'm just wondering how safe this will be with a simple loop for an anchor and without having a belayer...
