I want to use a chain to haul a fallen tree out of the marshy area

the pulling starts and keep it from slipping.

Surely you live somewhere near a Home Depot or Lowes. They have chain
hooks for $8 each or less. It's a one-time expense and when you're
done you have a much more useful chain.

That or just use a bolt, washers, and nut to make a loop in the chain.
