Did you set that bent up off the ground, on the timbers that are on the sawhorses?? And if so... why?

It looks like there are two ropes holding the bent down?? Are there lines from the top of the bents back towards the sawhorse??? And again... why??

Also how do you keep the bottom of the gin pole from kicking out? Is it dug in or tied to something?

Thanks for the picture of the gin pole raising. Makes sense.

I cut it twice, and it's still too short!!
