Kind of an Alladdin's rope, giving you everything you ask for.
This biz and its coiled ropes are a kinked improperly aligned tangled mess!
Whereas ropes on a spool stay in perfect alignment, holding their rated capacities longer, because they lay true, in a less contaminated setting.
This thread's all about ropes on spools doing the bulk of the work at your spoken command.
Spool up slow, spool up fast, stop, etc.
Think of a Hobb's device, a GRCS, being replaced by a powered rope spool, with 600 feet of rope on it, integral to a powered wheel barrel, with all terrain capability. Power right up to the tree, all 4-5 hundred lbs of it, strap it to the tree, like a canoe, prow up, fairlead pointing straight up towards your desired most secure redirect point.
I love the idea of a loosely attached 500 pound machine at the base, acting as a fall shock absorber, a dynamic bungee cord!
Call it a marriage of powered spool, generator, half a canoe, powered 3 wheeler barrow, in a trailer, easily pulled by my little four banger toy truck.
Set your pulley, hoist it high, forest fisher in the sky!
It's a mechanized world, and I wanna get on with it.
Hopefully I'll have this harebrained contraption finished by year's end.
