You're hunting tips for the day

Tip #1: best pull rope ever - use 1" lightweight lashing. I use the lashing that came with some ladder stands I bought. Best pull up ropes EVER. NEVER EVER tangle or knot. EVER. It's a little bulky, but well worth it.

Tip #2:
best equipment hanging system ever - get an alligator strap, like the one used to hold Summit tree stand for carrying. Slide the strap through couple old hooks fron ratchet straps. Strap around the tree. Quiet, strong, and perfect for hanging gun, bow, backpack, etc. You're welcome

Is "alligator strap" the actual name for those things? They're insanely useful, fast and light. Great tips.

I have the HYS Strap. Quite nice. Is that gear hoist really any good though? Noisy winding it up? Heavy?

I've been using some dyneema that is small diameter and pretty slick. If I so much as squint at it, it wraps around the nearest branch-limb-rock-my step-itself-my bow-the ground-tree root and becomes a knotted mess. Works great as a pull down for my rappel rope but not great for a pull up.

There's many different ones. This is one of those double edged sword right? Get it to small and light the rope blows in the wind and wraps on everything. The strap will blow in the wind but don't seem to knot as bad. It's quite enough since you just made noise climbing the tree. The extra weight is fine since it keeps it stored so nicely.
I have actually switched to a dog tie out cable it don't tangle and is just the right weight. I just wrap it up around a pouch on my saddle. Works quite nice.

Best pull up rope ever is Doyle's gear hoist.
