Ain’t that the truth! I can think of 1001 things I need to be doing and can’t do any of them! Can’t even splice! 😢

The times I’ve done it, I girth hitched a friction saver into a bowline on a bight and ran my climbline through the rings for just a pinch more friction than a block/pulley would provide.

If the skyline is spanned between two tall trees in the wee tops though, that’s a lot of side load. Could guy them as well I suppose. I’ve only used skylines on short/compromised trees, heavy leaners, and storm trees that were already fallen/suspended.

I have used a skyline a couple of times, but it doesn’t appear you have near enough nor tall enough trees to make that an option. It’s difficult to get a skyline taut enough to support sour weight without a lot of snag unless it’s a very short span. I have set three guy lines on sketchy dead...

Essentially, if you have “almost enough” room to throw the top, and have some room behind for the butt section, it’s a viable solution. I wouldn’t recommend it for sprawling/limby trees.

I’ve only used it for dead pines. Eliminates having to climb as high in a compromised tree. I’ve toyed with the idea of a 3-piece cut but the pull required would be tricky as the two cuts would move at different speeds. As far as I know, I’d never seen/heard of it. I’d cut/folded/dropped...

Brian, I was ~50’ away holding my phone and filming from the truck as I pulled it. What Stig said. I set two lines in the top to guy it until ready. Climbed and made a face cut and high back cut and set pull line below notch (also rappelled down on it). Then hooked pull line to truck, face cut...

Here’s one I did about six years ago. I’ve done it three times I think.

Can you fold it and drop it in place?
