Pulleys

This is a better picture of the pulley system at the base of the trunk. The trunk is so long that it's impossible to lift from one end. That's why we need the pulleys. We might even need to add 2 more pulleys, because with the trunk extension its pretty hard to lift. The green rope that you see in this picture is supposedly climbing rope that has a tensile strength of 3200 lbs, although when it rubs on sharp metal for a few weeks, I can rip it in half :(
