I generally set up a pulley on a vt for my rope capture. That way when there is movement the guy can pull the tail end of the line for 3-1 advantage. I don't know if that makes since. I can try and take a picture if anyone cares to see.
 
Any recommendations on a progress capture? Nothing fancy---I'm just a backyard lumberjack. I like Bailey's but I'm on the right coast. My last order took 11 or 12 days to get here.
 
If you set up a capture on the main line before the puller it should be as strong as the pulling line. If the capture is on the tail it can be made of smaller stuff.
 
I'm another one for the maasdam rope puller, it's a great insurance policy! Easy to use for inexperienced ground help.
