Re:HOW TO GET A LINE INTO A PINE TREE 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
...but remember that with a system like this, when the rope is fixed at ground level (around the trunk perhaps), the tension in the rope EITHER SIDE of the branch is equal to your weight. Therefore the branch is actually supporting TWICE YOUR WEIGHT!!

This is good to remember when assessing whether or not your branch is strong enough

(btw, Douglas Fir branches can be brittle and snap suddenly, so make it a good one!)

...now I'm off to read the Holden post about peanut butter...

Take care

Michael
