I like this type of truckers hitch for pretensioning small trees with a mechanical advantage, There are better ways to do this with less friction on the rope using pulleys. This small tree was tangled in another and wouldn’t come over with just a wedge. For extra side pull I just tie a prusik with stopper . Then an alpine butterfly for a hand loop . #knots #knot #theknot #ropes #ropework #ropes #ropeart #roperescue #ropetraining #treework #tree #arb #rescue #rigging #rigger #rigginglife #farmlif
