Hawk Helium vs. Muddy Pros

My short hack is just my logic(previous post), the free body diagram would be my check. I’m a mechanical engineer, but honestly my gut is better than my skills lol. There are no shortcuts in free bodies. But think of it this way, friction on the rope in the tree should cause a load split between the fixed side of the rope and the cam side of the rope, and the standoffs on the tree should take some of the load, so the entire load would only be through the cam if none of those conditions were met; maybe if there was hard ice or stone around the tree, which doesn’t exist normally...
