I always wonder how much tension you apply to the speed line and how much weight it will support without creating too much sag in the line. I am not an arborist. I am a man that hunts deer and elk in the local mountains and there have been many times where a speed line would have saved hours of hard labor hauling animals up or down steep hills. My climbing ropes and pulleys have become some of my best friends! I really enjoy all your videos and think I learn a lot from them.
We make use of a variety of ropes; from the way they're made, to what they're made of, the inherent properties of a particular line make it more/less suitable for a wide range of tasks we might need it for. Not all the ropes we use are super flexible like you see here. A static line with little to no flex is sometimes what will best accomplish the task. The speedlining we do is not a good analog for the purposes you described, I think. Our cargo doesn't have to go very far at all. Certainly not all the way off a mountain. For that, there are many more factors to consider. So, sorry to say but, I don't think giving you answers to the questions you asked would do you much good..
