The maasdam usually has enough pull to to not need any extra mechanical advantage. Any I've used I was able to get tight enough for the rope to just slip.
Carve out a large pocket, get your rope in the tree and pulled tight, then fill the pocket with at least 10lbs of tannerite, get far away, and shoot it. That's how we do it in TN.
But dead rotten oak might. A friend of mine had a red oak die quickly and branches just started falling off. They looked similar to that one. I don't think a throw line and tugging by hand would pull the tree over.
