Yes, that is more or less what says the paper about "game string" and rabbit sticks. What I can't find is how the fact that the discs can slide along the string makes the device quickly adjustable. My quick adjustments are done by unrolling and re-rolling the string around the base of one of the toggle. I don't use much the other toggle. There must be something more to do with the 2 toggles.
The perforated discs described in the paper have only one perforation each.
And according to the author, the mobility of those discs (with one perforation only) allows adjustements. I'll try to make more experiments and see what comes out.
Yes, it's the generic idea of "toggle". The discoid shape is more useful than other shapes in one aspect (or more ?) : no need to worry about the orientation of the toggle. The "game string", used to carry preys, resembling a strangling device, is an ugly dreadful looking device, as its name suggests... The paper I refered to also reports testing it as a "bola" or as an aid to fly rabbit sticks. Killing devices... nothing wonderful, I must admit... But as a simple "belt" it's OK.
The idea comes from a paper ("A Game String and Rabbit Stick Cache from Borrego Valley, San Diego County", see complete ref. in the video's description). I've not yet found all the possibilites that the publication suggests. Any ideas ?

Dispatched rabbits can be hung on the string, by one or both legs, in the same way as the other objects, I imagine?

@freejutube Maybe you could drill two holes in each disc? That way the disc can slide on the string but will have more resistance?

Very interestig method. I am very sure I've seen sth similar before also using disc, but unfortunately I can't remember where or what that was ...
"the "Game string" must offer more wonderful primitive tricks... still to be rediscovered... " -- maybe it's useful for butchering an animal as well?
