I have all different ropes on my stands what ever was in the garage.. Some ropes are black some are blue.. My favorite stand has white roap like what would be used on an old clothes line.. All the rope works the same...

Lewis, The Strapper Gear Retriever. This is the NO TANGLE way to get your equipment up to your treestand!

Ditch the rope... The Strapper is the the compact, quiet and quick way to retrieve your gear! Besides the fact that packing 30 feet of rope can take up a lot of space, using rope or twine to get your gear up to your treestand is just a tangled mess waiting to happen.

Thanks to The Strapper's 3/ 4 " webbed strap, you can easily steer your equipment around tree limbs and other obstacles. And once you've retrieved your stuff, the 30' strap quickly stores inside the reel for the ultimate in convenience.

I cannot agree more, I have 4 of them, been using them for more than 20 years, the best thing out there

Cheap ... Home Depot dark colored 3/8" by 75' line. StrikerII is spot on. It's ten times easier to haul heavy gear up with a line you can actually grip. Paracord burns up gloves, is slippery, and will cut you up if a heavy weapon or 25lb backpack starts to plunge. There's no reason not to go heavy and cheap. I have the same Home Depot crap rope on some stands for 7 years.

Camo string that I brought at the sporting goods store. I never really thought that much about my haul line. :p. I guess that's what happens when you spend hours in a treestand. [ko] On stands I leave in the woods I leave my haul lines attached and tie them off to the tree or a step when I leave. Otherwise the wind will blow it up in the branches

I use any line that is sold in the sporting goods section. I tie knots in it every two feet so I can grip it as I pull it up and let it down. I attach a clip and tie off some loops so it can accommodate weapons of various sizes. I also use two. One on each side of the tree. One for the weapon and one for the backpack.

Just tie knots in it every two feet or so.

Why haul a backpack up with a rope when it goes on your back? Why carry around heavy plastic contraptions and thick rope when 30 foot of paracord can fit in the pocket? You ladies need to work on your grip if you can't haul your weapon up with paracord!

If you have a ladder stand and there is a skirt around it, it can get in the way. Also, if you attach the backpack to the cord, you can raise it when you need it.

I have to laugh. Some of you guys really need to get over yourselves. Your way is the best way or no way? Is that how you play the game in your self absorbed worlds? I've been down this road a million times doing this drill! Don't knock anything until you try it. Hanging a rope from a permanent stand is one thing and using a rope to come along with you using a climber is quite another. Clothesline, paracord, heavy twine, braided line, nylon rope all work, but what works best is up for debate because a lot of people just never used anything else that just might make life a little easier.
