"Those that can, do. Those that cant, teach" as the saying goes...

That’s a bold statement from someone who, by their own lack of experience and qualifications, clearly can’t. Basically any trainer will be better than you and able to teach you something. Wind your neck in.

One of these (DIY or an actual rigging wrench) is invaluable for rigging in the tree or working with only one grounds man as you can readily control it as they land it.

Have you used either of the ISC ones?

No just made one with my unused rope wrench..

 

It's very good and can be taken off the pinto easily if it's not required.

 

It works very well with my harken with one groundy to lift branches away, then I can take control in the tree and lower it.

 

At a guess it takes about 50% of the load meaning it's possible to lift 100-150kg branches on the harken and then release It off the harken to lower it by hand. 

I'd recommend giving it a go

How light can you go before it’s a pain? And how easy to pull slack?
