Close to it, and the block's own friction eats a little. You halve line speed and use double the rope to get it. The other gain matters just as much — running double line pulls more rope off the drum, and a winch pulls hardest on its bottom layers.
A rated shackle and something solid to run it around. The jaw takes a standard 5/8 inch shackle, and your anchor should be a proper tree trunk protector round a decent trunk — never bare rope against bark. Check the pin and jaw are fully closed before loading up.
Yes, and this is the bit of recovery gear everyone neglects. The sheave turns on bearings that live in mud and salt water, so rinse it after a trip and check it spins without drag and the pin is secure. A seized sheave drags the rope instead of rolling it.
