    Can you pull a tree with 2 ropes tied together?

    New to the field game I am wondering if it’s safe to pull a tree by attaching two ropes together ? I have 2 100 foot rope and want to know if it would be safe (I know it’s not ideal) to tie them together to pull a tall tree down. If so, what knot would you use? Thx again
