Start by tying a figure-8 on a bight on one end of a 33 foot, 8mm static cord. Clip that into a locking carabiner with the loop next to the spine. Next, loop through the second carabiner, back through the first, and then up again to the second, finishing with a Münter hitch next to the gate of the second carabiner. Tie off the Münter hitch with a half hitch on a bight around the three strands and as close as possible to the Münter, and secure the half hitch with an overhand on a bight (again, around the three strands). Tie off the end with another figure-8 on a bight and clip to an anchor, if desired.
There. You now know how to tie a load-releasable 3:1 hitch that you can use between a pulley (if raising) or a brake bar (if lowering) that can be used to unload the line if you have a locked prussik hitch.
