Thanks Merle, yes that pre tensioned [by my truck] 3/4 stable braid is my 90 degree to lay guy line. That tree had a heavy side lean over the cabin and chimney.

Willard, Going to have to borrow your “90 deg. to lay guy line” trick, thanks.
Now I better go through this whole work pictures thread too. Had just looked at last few pages.

This one is only 70 pages so far the old one was like 2000 pages! This is a great thread though.

Joel, are you using a French prussic ( no braid) or a vt?
Tightening up your hitch might be good.
HH is awesome!

I was not climbing on it and had just put it on the rope in prep so I could see it move. I then read the instructions 
and retied it with the 5 wraps. It was a learning curve to get the hitch tight enough before the stopper knot was set without adding the slack from dressing and setting the stopper. A new saddle will be next as my current has the leather backing for hpd rollers and it is long. With the HH I will want it to be closer to me and lower.

I highly recommend an 8mm cordage and 6-7 wraps with the HH. HRC is best for me so far.

I'll take that advice Nick as I believe you had said before your 6ft 170ish that's me or close to at 6'1" 175
Sorry for the derail.

Merle, we're on page 140 right now. Go back to page 17 and see my posts on a big 3 stem poplar I took down, I show another guy line I used that shows I over wrapped the port o wrap. I did that to reassure a number of city employees who were watching that this tree was secure and to maybe help them stop asking so many questions.

Wow Willard, that would give my nerves a work out. Was that a Maasdam rope puller involved or a come along?

Yes that's a maasdam, I have since replaced it with a 6 ton More Power comelong with synthetic winch line, one of the handiest tools I recently purchased.
