So looking at the step by step link, you do have to have a rope with eye or not?

Yeah, and unlike Bodean I only put the tail through once. That's how I was taught, if that isn't correct, straighten me out Deva. I use it on smaller trunks because it uses up the extra rope and spreads the force out on a wider area with the extra wrap around the tree.

Exactly, I was taught minimum 4 wraps on the tail spread out as much as possible.

 

Straight Timber hitch, min 7 wraps. Spaced out as much as possible.

As a subquestion:

 

Does the porty have to be secured to the base of the wroking tree, or can it be attached to an adjacent one?

[Peter]

Attach to any suitable anchor point, be it another tree, or the towbar of the transit.

Thanks Peter for the quick response.

Yep.....tow bar is also welded on for just such senarios.
