Default Re: remote suspension/spanline removal

Done some work like this with Lightning struck trees. Used a tandem pulley attached a second line so that it could be controlled by a groundworker adjusting how far along you or the pulley can move. It can also be installed from the ground with a long enough rope tied at both ends to the ground or another tree. This can also be tensioned with a block and tackle so that there is less dynamic movement in the rope above. The other option maybe twin lowering lines and twin lowering devices from either tree to lower in a V with a dogline to swing branch clear. probably an easier setup.
