Hey guys I am so happy with this piece of equipment I thought I would post it. I have had a ton of trouble with using a 30' line to hoist my gear into the stand. A regular lline works but no matter what I try I can never keep the line from getting tangled up. I bought The Huntin' Hoist, I think it is Doyls Huntin' Hoist, from Cabellas and used it the other day. This thing to me is worth its weight in gold. As you climb, the strap comes out of the housing and as you raise your gear into the stand the strap re-tracts back into the housing. No tangles, no mess and no noise. It is $29.99 but well worth it. Contact me if you have any questions.
