That cheap rope from the hardware store nearly got me killed on a big oak removal

Was takin down a 50 foot white oak near Asheville last month and the lowering rope frayed halfway through a heavy limb drop. Anyone else had a close call with budget rope or am I just the unlucky one?

Did you check if it was actually arborist rated or just general use?

Tbh that's on you for trusting hardware store rope with anything heavy.
