Tying banners up in a tree, from the ground, without being able to reach the rope after tying

[Mesterh]

Can't you just use some very thin rope like paracord? Strong but I would like to see someone try to use it to climb the tree.

It’s a piece of piss.

 

You tie the banner near the knot end of a running bowline with a short tail.

The tail has a loop in it. A chunky loop.

A second rope passes through the loop.

You use this (doubled) to haul up the banner.

When it’s in place, pull out the second rope.

 

If the banner says ‘IT’S COMING HOME’, I will find you.

And I will kill you.

Someone could hang themselves on that. You have no idea who you’re dealing with.

I am intrigued.

 

What is written on the banner?

Not sure yet, but it is for a good cause😉

There was some invisible rope for sale on Ebay a couple of months ago, can't find it now.

@Island Lescure here’s a really shit video I made in the workshop.

The banner would go where the bog roll is.

The tail is way too long here, but I didn’t want to cut the rope.

 

You would need to set the orange with a second throwline.

too many open variables

banners need to come back down in a week or days? or staying potentially forever?

what kinda trees? and is there a budget on equipment?

 

i have an answer for long term non-retrievable, and for short term retrievable, assuming you have some basics and a budget for supply

I'm picturing a banner with a rope at each end, struggling to see how you tie the second end.
