    Should have said, used chain with open loop on end and chain fed back through it to make a loop. trouble was getting the chain to grip to a log, went round the logs twice a couple of times (amazing how much length that took of the chain) Did actually use tie down strops to make up the length needed.

    Old mate in the surf had to put his foot down and try keeping them moving/
    Bouncing, was a good moment to stand well clear

    If using winch plan on cutting them a lot longer, 9500lb winch, may run a couple of pulleys, shall see how it goes. Plenty of dynamic winch rope and extention straps

    Making a v groove for it to sit in makes sense, didn't both when I was doing so many short lengths but worth the hassle if I'm not doing as many.

    3-4 foot diameter, think the last one was 37m tall, good news is they are already on the ground thank to the amount of rain /wind we have had. Bad news is they went down the bank.... Least the but end is pointing up
