( flying capstan are an arse. Get yr fitter mate to weld up a drum bollard n hold it on tree with lorry ratchet straps) )

If you don't fancy that try Tree Runner P500, much cheaper than other fixed bollards but all the advantages so great for lighter work. 156+vat from Honeybros so not much more than portawrap.

Actually while you're at it should probably order two, two being safer than one and all that...

It’s only a medium sized ash, basic rigging gear could be just an old climbing line, use the trees crotches for friction or wrap around the trunk. That’s as complicated as it needs to be. You could add in a pulley at the top so you can pull cut branches up if need be

Agreed, learn natural crotch rigging, for anything but big stuff it’s far easier.
