Ach so, Nick meant Miyagi. They probably named him after Chojun Miyagi, the founder of Okinawan Goju Ruy Karate.

Who is Miagi??

Or some better rope angles!

That is actually the way I did it. Second notch about 1½ foot above the first one. With a chain between the two to keep the tree from splitting apart from the pulling force.

Yup.Pretty much a once in a lifetime scenario. Mine was a big dying elm next to a very trafficked highway. Had to be straightened up and slipped through two beech trees to get it to fall away from the road. We had the cops block off the road just in case, but it worked like a charm. Impressed...

I did something similar with a big elm about 15 years ago. But being a logger type, I used a 3½ ton Tirfor to pull it to vertical and a skidder to pull it into the lay. The thing to be aware of is that your second hinge will be too narrow to give you much directional precision.
