Re: Tree stand gear pull up rope
Green paracord (bought in bulk) and snap, leave one attached to each ladder stand. Adjusted so that bow hangs off ground when attached. Be sure to check for squirrel chewing.
Vortex, Phoenix, single-shot rifles and handguns.

Same here have been using the same for years.Cossack wrote:Green paracord (bought in bulk) and snap, leave one attached to each ladder stand. Adjusted so that bow hangs off ground when attached. Be sure to check for squirrel chewing.
Add a loop at bottom end to do a loop lock on anything to be lifted.
Make the loop end near ground high enough that when lowered the item does not touch ground.
I Buy it at a local army surplus dealer .
Never seems to wear out , rot , get mildew, abrasion free after years of use,
Soft to handle,

There ya go. Super strong, won't rot. dries fast, olive drab color, use a match on the cut ends and because its nylon it melts so no unraveling. Great stuffCossack wrote:Green paracord (bought in bulk) and snap, leave one attached to each ladder stand. Adjusted so that bow hangs off ground when attached. Be sure to check for squirrel chewing.
Any rope will get chewed on by critters they like the salt left on the rope from our sweaty hands.

So true. Found that out the hard way when my Vortex took a fall in the predawn darkness after overlooking a squirrel chewed rope. Fell twelve feet -cocked- landed on a limb, bounced some 4 feet. I was mortified~! But not to worry re Excal. It didn't dryfire and the POI didn't change one bit.

That is a Great Idea....Sandman wrote:I might be frugal or cheap but I use a 30ft dog leash. Its compact and locks as it retracts.

Once it retracts it is quiet and out of the way.
I'm gonna use that idea.
Thanks

Re: Tree stand gear pull up rope
I have to say that's a great idea also I ordered the Doyles yesterday so ill be testing and comparing it to a dog leash,. I love the idea of it retracting on its own..no stinky rope hanging. no trying to wind up or unwind a tangled mess..BeerNutz1960 wrote:That is a Great Idea....Sandman wrote:I might be frugal or cheap but I use a 30ft dog leash.
