It appears the Port-A-Wrap was designed for use in "vertical" rigging -- porty attached low on the trunk to lower pieces from up in the tree.
However there are several pictures and examples here of folks using a Port-A-Wrap for more "horizontal" rigging
-- porty attached to a trailer hitch and used to hold a rope in a more horizontal orientation.
This makes me wonder if a port a wrap would make a good "progress capture" device in a 2:1 or 3:1 tree pulling scenario.
As it stands, the only "progress capture" I do -- if pulling on a rope by hand -- is pull it tight, then walk around the tree a couple of times before tying it off.
Would a port-a-wrap be good for this?
Or is there a more preferred way of maintaining the tension in a pull rope other than walk around the tree and tying it off?
Thanks a lot.
