Buy a throw line.

We call it a retrievable block, then Climbers Companion has a very good instruction.

Like Gorman I set a rigging line with a throwline, some will use a midline knot to rig it static to the crotch, I usually just fishpole lash it to the base of the tree

Get a big shot. I like pneumatic guns too.

Me UGG, me cut tree. READ the original post, the OP gave no reason why he wanted the pulley in the tree, just that he wanted it in the tree. Perhaps putting up a ham radio antenna?

Soooo u buy a new rope after every big removal? maybe you don't let anything run so that would help cause on the last big tree I natural crotched I burnt that rope something fierce I was also letting thousand pound logs run 40-50 feet smoke pouring off the top and bottom of the tree it was hot!! Lol

 

[Zale]

That's the way real men do it, according to Cletus.

Smoke your own ropes bucko!

Static Removable False Crotch

This except I prefer a knot to a split tail.

Static Removable False Crotch

I use the first method picking a crotch close to the trunk.

Now the second seems to be only doable if you can get a limb horizontal enough to rig the rope. Also the rigging is going to be further away from the trunk. I just can't put big weight on something like that.

Yes yes, tell Good Dr. Proteus all about it, I am here to help people with problems such as yers. I usually have good results but I will tell you now, there is going to be some drilling involved.
