Rangerdanger,
I plan to use my Pinto rig pulley for blocking down some smaller trees, as well. Nothing over 12". I don't mind taking them down in smaller chunks, as it will all be used for firewood in the end.
I'm an old groundie. Back in those days, I preferred to have much bigger pieces to work with, as it made the ground work go a whole lot faster. Back in the early 80s, I never imagined that I would ever need to know how to rig a tree for dismantling. Now, some 30 years later, I'm beginning to take great interest in it, mainly out of a need to learn it. Funny how that works in life.
