I have a back up release in my backpack also , however I have an additional back up plan 3 prong hook with about 30 feet of rope.
It helps to hoist up and lower back pack also, I have a ladder stand that has camo netting hanging over. It grabs everything when I climb into , so I take the backpack off and climb and take the hook up with me and hoist everything up and down Dual purpose
Congrats VS!! hope work doesn't mind you being late!! Congrats Noodles!! Guess she didn't mind the STINK!!
