Looks like you had a batch of fun!

Is that a bowline on that line?

Right Rocky, and to cut a few notches takes about 9 sec. I will get weirded out if the pull line gets off center.

Hey Rocky, how is ole #14? It's been awhile.

bowline

had enough wood on the ground to keep spar off the ground so untying wasn't a problem.

I hate to pull a spar down on top of wood, talk about a wad.

As pointed out, there is still the point of centered pull in Rocky's version, versus twisting pull pictured, unless that specifically counters some other element. Cutting too much hinge on the side of the line pull could logically invite twisting, as that area of hinge is the most leveraged against.

Laying line centered over top,and on back, but low over FaceCut; leaves release near cutter on backside (as closest man anyway), and pullers in place to pull after release of line too, before disbanding pullers and leveraging pulleys etc.; to smoothly maximize line removal.

Well at least I was MIA at the time. No one can blame it on me.

How much does it cost you to get rid of a tree like that in Brooklyn???

Maybe a better way of asking is how do you get rid of a Tree of Heaven in Brooklyn, as they are the most worthless tree one could come across, Willows and Popular species are a step up compared to Tree of Heaven.
