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!

I was looking at the Pack A Pull system as well. Biggest downfall I see is the 200 pound weight rating if a guy is planning on using it to hang quarters. 100 pounds per side or 200 using both sides isn't a lot when needing to hang 4 quarters off a mature bull. A front and hind from a good bull is going to be all of 100 pounds with the bone in.

From what I have gathered 2 of the Pack A Pull kits might be a good option if you are going to really need to hang all 4 quarters. Weight is probably the same or less then carabiners as a guy would need at least 6 carabiners to hang 4 quarters on 2 lines or 12 carabiners to hang 4 quarters independent of each other and all the associated cordage to make it happen. Unless of course your just using one carabiner and don't want any mechanical advantage which is fine for a light pack or food bag but tough to do with 100 pounds of meat.

All the ways to move stuff or hang stuff sound cool until you actually start thinking about needing to hang 4 quarters.

Start adding up the cost of carabiners, pulley's to put on the carabiners and all the cordage needed to hang 4 quarters and the $55 price tag of one Pack A Pull isn't that far off. A decent carabiner made to hold more then your keys is going to cost $10 per and weight around 1 ounce where the Pack A Pull is claiming 4 ounces or the same weight as 4 carabiners.

Well I guess I talked myself into ordering one to try out, darn it anyways.
Have you used your Pack A Pull system yet, and if so how do you like it? (Haven't read the whole thread yet, so pardon me if you've already answered this question.)

The coupon code: "Rokslide" doesn't work! Is there another?

Pack-A-Pull does not have a coupon for Rockslide, but there is a discount offered on Pack-A-Pull through Backwoods Pursuit. Check out there reviews and find their page that with discounts they offer.
