I've been thinking about this and believe I have a way... there is of course
some additional drag with the pulleys, rope stretch won't be that much of an
issue. It goes like this..
come-along clamped to guy wire on one end, rope on the other end. rope runs
through pulley on anchor (10,000lb rating in dirt, concrete top-filled, so the
side load shouldn't hurt it), out to a pulley on the nearest available tree,
then straight down to a platform of some sort (pallet?) with 400 lbs on it.
When the weight/platform/pallet come off the ground about 1/4", tension is
about right. Tighten with turnbuckle until weight is back on ground.
What do you think?
