basically im just starting my cs38 ive bought a complete kit from gustharts but i need a safety strap or second anchor point strap???? i weigh ruffly 20 stone and was wondering would a rope grab hold me along wid a 13mm rope or could any one suggest any other method i did borrow the instructors rope with a pulley and friction rope set up but didnt find that very comfy and was playing that it wouldnt hold i would prefer something made of metal just to ease my mind any help would be appreciated

sorry i meant to say rather than a purpose built skiline just using a normal pto driven winch

at the moment im currently working as a door supervisor on bars and pubs until work pics up for me and basically i had a brain wave for a skiline basically a double drum winch powered my tractor or unimog 1 line for lowering and raising the carrage and the other for pulling in the wood a basic roller and hook as a carriage with chain chokers to wrap around the timber and some form of steel frame work to lift the cables higher enough to clear the stumps and what not was this a bit of a mad moment in the freezing cold last night or is this used by any 1 or ever been atempted
