Your pulling dead weight the lower you go, thus increasing the chance of the hinge breaking are the tree going pete tong! the higher the better "within reason".

 

 

I understand the science, but on trees that size, or larger ones with no real lean there's not a lot of point to be honest. Anything really sketchy we'll always climb. But if there's no risk we just leave the hinge thick and pull away.

You don't don't need to climb a tree to install a high winch line.

We don't climb all ground based, so get the ladder out if we need the cable higher. And on this job it was more of a safety and just a little pull was all they needed to go over. The higher the point you attach the cable the better the pull yes, to certain point!
