Might not should post this in the chainsaw forum, but the chainsaw guys here are who I trust the most and figured it would get the most exposure here as well.
I've got a leaning post oak and want to make an awesome rope swing for my kids. There is a spot 40' high that I can get to with a climbing stand on the pine tree right next to the oak. I've been up there and can attach a bracket on the oak easily. Next door neighbor said the tree has always been leaning like this so I feel it is stable. It's healthy, just leaning at probably 20 degrees plus or minus (just guessing, pic attached)View attachment 301718.
What rope, where's the best price on rope, and how should I attach to ensure no long term damage to the post oak?
Thanks,
Waylan
