thanks, i've got a nice 3/4 inch double braid line saved for occasions such as this, will be getting a block and using the porty.

my intended method would be:

block cow hitched to trunk, cut an open skarf with sloping bottom and top cuts (1/3 of trunk deep) pull rope on top of section. lowering rope attacthed to section using multiple half hitches finished off with a running bowline. do the back cut hang my saw and brace, then the crew can do the rest.

how important do you think it is to have my 2 "tip's" between the block attachment and the skarf?

thanks.
