What hitch do you guys use when lowering a heavy limb or section of trunk?
This is what I do, but I tie a marl or a half hitch very rarely, normally on pieces that could tip/flop around, otherwise I don't see how adding another 90* bend in the rope does much good in a typical setting.ALWAYS a running bowline. Sometimes with a half-hitch (marl?), sometimes knot.

That makes a lotta sense.While neither would be anywhere near good, if I had to choose one to slip off, it'd be the half hitch.
That has GOT to be a first in the history of the Internet!...All I needed was some plain english. Thank you Kenny!
Am I missing something or does this not make sense?I use a marl with a cow hitch above it, then I tie a half hitch under the cow.
