Just do a catspaw or marlinspike hitch.

Use a hammer to pound it in between the loops. Then pry it to loosen. Pin wrench is a northern name for spud wrench, i keep forgetting that Gary, thx.

Get a small spike looking thing, such as a marlinspike. You can improv with a nail, an awl (what i often use for splicing wire to open the strands), or a pin wrench (what i often use in place of a fid).

That's the correct names, and you know that. Calling things the correct names is a good thing, so that way people know what you are talking about. I agree completely on the logging chokers, and i thought the chain ones often had a short section of rod to help push it under a log. John, the...

Works great, fits through a gate and doesn't require me to pick up the logs. I built it because i threw my back loading my arbor trolley, and it performs with similar efficiency, will do about 1k with 2 guys on it. They are smaller diameter than the arbor trolley, but similar width, flat free as...

Lol those are nice, but wtf. I lift up to a ton or so with mine. You are overthinking this a bit, you need some tongs to move a few logs for free, not buying something to log commercially for years until you finally wear them away to nothing dragging them behind a skidder. Anything that big i...

I've never seen a set of tongs over a couple hundred, let alone 1k. I absolutely love mine, especially once I got rid of the retainer rings and welded the points in. Maybe 75 bucks i think? It's been years ago. There's me testing my log arch, when i built that years ago too lol.

? Tongs are like 50 bucks. I got mine from tsc if i remember, they work great. If rope is protected it would work too. You can't back up closer to the logs? Are you milling them? What's the point if you aren't getting paid? Logs are everywhere, get easier ones.

If you are dragging logs out of the woods (I'm assuming with a vehicle), wire rope or chain is going to be be best, because it tolerates that level of abrasion/abuse the best. You will destroy rope in a hurry trying to do that. Get a choker bell and a ferrule from a place like west tech rigging...

I use 1/2 arborplex for light stuff and 5/8 treemaster for heavier stuff. I need to break down and get some super thick stuff, but I've killed a bunch of trees using this so far and the thick stuff would be just so i could do bigger pieces and do stuff faster. I guess it depends on what you are...
