I think I'd rather cut some of the trees down and drive across them.
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]

What gets me is that the top line isn't sagging at all. With over a ton of weight on it. That's gotta be some serious tension on the trees it's mounted on. "Now we'll see if they hold. Johnson, you're up first!" "Fuck you very much, sir!"

The top line wouldn't sag, would it? If the cable is looped, it'd be stretched tighter, the greater the weight.

If it's a loop, yes. But note the pulleys' are on different lines.

Looks like the bottom of the front pulley is lined up with the bottom cable. Who be needin' glasses? :read:

Too much angle in the dangle. :dono: Anyway, the sag isn't enough to make me at all happy with that stunt. It would seem to be faster to just go the fuck around that gulley.

I'm betting that ravine meets at a very acute angle at the bottom. Even a Jeep has limitations.
