Theodore, let's at least ask a good question . This little
kid stuff is hurting my side . Ask first if I would use
block with a half inch line . Now if I was to set up for a high angle rescue I would use every half inch block in the bag , . Now Theodore if you want me to get more technical , e-mail me and I will answer you there. Personally I don't use those cheesy 1/2 blocks for tree work. I use 5/8th clevis that are welded together for all my 1/2 inch lowering. Theodore , a doubled 5/8th clevis pin , 5/8 dblbraid sling and a Sampson true blue 225ft lowering line is my main weapon of choice for limb removal . Now Theodore
,ask me agood question . And Glen has 2 n's .
