[QUOTE="John Ellison, post: 518237, member: 3164"] Another way to look at it is, solo is safer than working with a yahoo. I think the guys that mentioned a Maasdam rope puller are right on. If you can get the line at least 2/3 of the way up the tree you have a lot of leverage. A block or two is nice and you can redirect the line right back to the area you are working in. Back it up and help tip it over with a couple of wedges. Some people can tye a slip/pinch knot about 18" from the throwball, swing it back and forth underhanded and throw and hit targets waay up there. I am not one of them. A Big Shot works good for those of us that cant. [/QUOTE]
