interesting i typed de@dhorse, the smilie just erupted
if you are breaking cable at the clamps, chances are the clamp is on wrong, the saddle goes on the live (load) side , the u bolt goes on the dead side (cut) this is important, the u bolt crushes the strands and weakens the joint considerably, easy to remember, "never saddle a dead horse"

You must have had some sort of rigging job at some point.any time you loop and connect a cable to its self you loose 50 % of the strength, unless you use crane type loops wedges, but the vast amount more strenght of 5/8 over 3/8 should be enough, I've broken 1 1/8 cable, but that takes a lot
Can you share an image of the aftermath?ALL right the last one in this section is on the ground. Now the harder physical work starts again. De-limbing and cleaning up all the mess. Plus I still need to drag all the logs up the hill. Then I get to try and burn the slash and stumps. Which that part is going to have to wait some as we are currently under a burn ban. I am so thankful to finally have both of these last two on the ground now. They were tall enough to do some real damage had they fallen on their own or had they gone in the wrong direction.
