Gonna call Project Skidding Cone a success. Finished product...
The setup...
First try...
After getting it to the bottom bank, I put a butterfly in rope, and rehooked it to the hitch. Butterfly was a pita to remove, so I figured I'd try a prusik. I seem to have left my rigging cord somewhere else, but I have some web loops. Can you make a prusik out of them?
Success!
Made a bad screwup. Forgot to unhook the pulley before pulling on the prusik the second time, and I broke my rope. Also cut my new skidding cone :^(
My shitty little pile of wood...
It's the lightest, crappiest wood up there. It was closer to the truck, and I had to move it anyway to get to the bigger stuff. Food time now. Chili and beans...
