    Thats the exact release I shoot.. I love that thing!! Heading out west next year. I have already been thinking about purchasing a second one. I think that will move up my list pretty quickly after reading your post!

    yuppo. H2. Got that last week. I think Tethrd bought all the Ropeman 1 ascenders on the open market. Nobody else has it in stock anymore.*
    Less than 5 days to my door.

    edit no sooner did I post that than I got an email from Amazon that they are back in stock

    Nice! It's fun! It's alittle tough on your first few sits, but give time, it gets better. You need to put time in the saddle to almost get in shape using it. I'm on my 3rd season and don't plan on going back anytime soon.

    A Yeti Loadout Gobox 30. Didn’t know how much it would hold, but get a lot of stuff in it and still have a ton of room!

    Follow up review. This Cart is a must have! If you hunt out in the public sticks I HIGHLY recommend this cart. I drug my deer through creeks with crotch deep water, over huge logs that are normally more of a pain with other “bicycle tire” carts. I was Very impressed with it. I did hear from another reviewer it can be a problem in real thick viney undergrowth due to the vegetation impeding the mechanics of the rotating axles. Overall It gets a 5 out of 5 from me

    We bought one specifically for our out of town deer camp this year and loved it. I felt like the handle was the weakest part. If we set it down to rest, the handle would twist out of position and required two of us to fix it.

    I've heard good things. Price just feels too steep for me though.

    I've heard the vented, some hear/make more noise in flight.
