I do presets for ropes sometimes, usually by running para cord through a crotch in a tree then using the para cord to pull climbing rope up (then I ascend the climbing rope using prusiks).
Does anyone have a method for leaving an anchor in a tree that is telephone pole straight? And that they'd feel confident wouldn't be damaged by squirrels or the environment between uses? This is the kind of thing you could do by girth hitching the tree with a sling, but I wouldn't trust a sling after it had been sitting in a tree unobserved for a week or two. I've seen metal cables with eyes in them sold for rock climbing - that would address my concern about damage safety while left in the tree but I think they'd require a branch or something to keep them from sliding down when unweighted.
Any ideas?
