This is great demonstration. It's important to mention that these are prussic minding pulleys. The squared off ends are needed to release the rope from the pulley. Just saying if someone is planning on buying pulleys to set this up. Top notch demo!! Thanks.

As a lineman, we use block and tackle almost daily(we call them pee wee’s) they have a slit in the block that the fall line comes out of that pinches the rope, kind of like a cleat, that’s how you “capture your progress” a couple other tips, you can grasp all ropes with one hand and that you’d be amazed how easily you can hold a lot of weight with that friction with one hand. Also if you want extra pulling power, use one hand to pull the down line down, and the other to pull that same rope on the other end of the block up, gives you some sort of extra mechanical advantage

Good talk! I tell folks that you cannot be a woodsman if you don't have a copy of the Ashley Book of Knots. As a woodsman and general tinkerer around the homestead, knowing how to use rope and pulleys is not only important, but it's just plain fun. One thing Dave didn't touch on here that I think is critical is the size of the rope you use. I'm a traditionalist and prefer tarred manila, but whatever rope you choose needs to be big in diameter. You might not ever need the strength a bigger diameter allows for, but you'll always appreciate the ability to grip the stuff. Nothing in the world is worse than trying to pull a heavy load with some spindly little parachute cord or the like. Always opt for a minimum of 5/16" diameter, or 3/8". You can buy used pulleys from Arborist types. Just be very careful about buying cheap stuff from the Chicom Territories!

As suggestion: you might try a VT or Catalyst prusik. Those knots side more easily in the one direction, and they can be released under tension for an easier release of the load.
