Hoist Rope, 25 FT, Tree Stand Gear Rope with Reflective Wrap

Hoist Rope for Tree Stand Hunting: Climb Light, Raise Your Gear Later

Nothing is louder than a bow case hitting a ladder rung halfway up the climb to the stand. A hoist rope keeps your gear off the ladder and out of your hands, so you climb first and pull everything up once you’re settled.

The Climb Nobody Enjoys in the Dark

Every stand hunter has made that climb. Maybe your hands were cold, your pack kept catching on the steps, or your bow bumped the tree on the way up. After a few seasons you learn that climbing with your hands free is safer and quieter than hauling everything with you.

That’s why a hoist rope is one of the most useful things on a stand hunter’s list. You get yourself up first, and then you pull your gear up behind you.

A Hoist Rope Made for Bows, Packs, and Gear

The rope is 25 feet long, which gives you plenty of reach for most stand heights. A heavy-duty carabiner-style hook clips onto your gear, so you can raise a bow, a backpack, or other equipment without carrying it up the ladder. Because the hook is dipped in PVC, it makes less noise and helps protect your bow string and finish.

Reflective Wrap You Can Find in the Dark

At the end of the day, you’ll walk back to your stand in the dark. The 1½-inch reflective wrap picks up your headlamp, so the rope, and your stand, are easy to find. In addition, the plastic sleeve covers the clasp, so it stays protected as you pull. Finally, the rope packs down small enough to hang from the stand between hunts.

Hoist Rope Safety: The Part That Matters Most

A hoist rope is for lifting gear, not for protecting you. It isn’t a safety line or fall protection, so always wear a full-body harness and stay connected from the moment you leave the ground until you’re back down. Unload your firearm before you hoist it, and keep the muzzle pointed away from you. Cover broadheads and arrow tips, and attach the hook so the gear hangs safely and doesn’t swing. Also, wear gloves, since a rope pulled through bare hands can burn.

A Useful Gift for Stand Hunters

It’s also an easy gift. Hoist ropes are inexpensive and always useful, which makes one a good stocking stuffer for the hunter who already has everything. Give one to your hunting partner, a bow hunter in the family, or anyone setting up a new stand.
