    Lightweight Block and Tackle

    All 4 quarters from a nice 5 pt bull (bone in) hung about 8ft off the ground with a Pack-A-Pull ultralight block and tackle. Simple to use, super small and light weight! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lightweight Block and Tackle

    Key to pulling hard on the small diameter cord is to use a sturdy stick as a T handle. Just wrap the cord around it a few times and hold where the cord is wrapped. Works amazing and so simple.

    Lightweight Block and Tackle

    Assuming you mean Pack-A-Pull... 7/64” Dyneema for the mainline in the tree is recommended. It’s rated at 1600lbs which is about 320lb safe working load limit and this cord does not stretch. Mil-Spec 550 Paracord is typically sufficient for the lifting lines, which is the sections over the...

    Lightweight Block and Tackle

    Not to Answer for them... and in regards to if it’s better or not, I’ll leave that to each of their own depending on the intended purpose. Pack-A-Pull will reduce the amount of cord needed For hanging mutiple loads since it turns 1 set of hardware into 2 hoists with 1 mainline in the tree...

    Lightweight Block and Tackle

    So total weight is around 6oz for hardware and about $80 for that hardware setup...? In comparison to the Pack-A-Pull block and tackle which is 4oz including the storage bag and a throw bag for getting it hung in the tree. Plus Pack-A-Pull will work as 2 hoists in 1. Meaning one set of...

    Kuiu attack pants or Sitka apex pants

    Both are great pants. I have 2 pairs of Kuiu attack pants and love them. I use them for all seasons, hot to cold. The zips allow good ventilation when needed and they are amazingly comfortable for me. However, a good friend of mine doesn’t like the fit of the Kuiu Attack because the butt...

    GPS Advice Please

    I wish the Garmin InReach would also pair with a regular Garmin GPS too. This way you could use the InReach and sync all the data to the GPS. Would be handy for going back and forth between devices. If this is possible, please someone let me know how.

    New promaster XC-M

    I havce the older XC522 and like it with my 65mm spotter. It’s not rock solid in wind, has some shake seen in videos I’ve taken on windy days, but not bad. I’m excited to see the newer version as well. Personally like the shorter ones for a good height to glass while seated (either directly...

    GPS Advice Please

    I like both for same reasons as others have said. But also worth noting the display on most phones is way better than any GPS that I’ve seen. Advantages there for sure. I’ve now transitioned primarily using my Garmin InReach with maps on my phone. Just gotta keep the phone in airplane mode...

    "Pack-A-Pull" Ultralight Pulley System

    Two independent loads Using 3 lightweight carabineers is a good solution for lifting a single load. Still more friction than having actual pulleys - but is better than friction directly over the limb. However, the hoist (Pack-A-Pull) in this video shared by Eagle is for two loads with 4...

    I am a sportsman from Idaho with a focus on archery elk and do a lot of it solo. I have designed and built a super light weight backcountry pulley system that fits in the palm of your hand. It enables one person to hang game meat or food and gear high off the ground in the backcountry. I call...
