I did exactly what you showed just the other day. I used a nylon rope and an old claw hammer to toss it into the tree. Then tied it to a steel cable and pulled it through a high crotch. Attached the cable to the tree with a chain. The cable was 100’ so longer than the tree was tall. Called it a day since temps have been in the 90’s and dew points in the 70’s. Should be cooler by Saturday which happens to be my 76th birthday. Shouldn’t take long since I’ve got a come along attached to the cable. I’ll cut it half way through and leave a thick hinge and finish the job with the come along. This never gets old.
I really appreciate how much emphasis you spend on the fundamentals. It reminds me of how John Wooden, the greatest basketball coach in history, used to start by teaching his players how to put on their socks.
Personally I wud Tye a little lower in that tree simply because it wud be a stronger place. But that’s a judgment call! Enjoy your beautiful family and stay safe.
