Definitely. I saw that one after I bought the kit. If I hadn’t already bought the kit I probably would have done that, but used Dynaglide vs paracord. Although, the kit is pretty darn sweet with the double micro pulleys.If you can see this fellow on You Tube, he made on from pcs of chain that works pretty slick anView attachment 78795
I have this kit and it's legit. I tried for a while to figure out my own kit but it always priced out more expensive with any kind of double pulleys. I had another system (pack-a-pull) but wasn't a huge fan of the pulleys. Then I tried the gutless method on the ground but leaves can get everywhere. I finally used this kit last year and what worked for me was:
1. throw rappel line (with quicklink) or use dynaglide to get rappel rope over solid horizontal limb, then lower down to chest height
2. attach upper pulley to rappel line quicklink via soft shackle of amsteel or loop of paracord
3. assemble 4:1 system
4. pull rappel line up until pulley is to desired height, tie off rappel rope to tree.
5. attach lower pulley to deer legs through 2 paracord loops or to head
6. Hoist deer and tie in toggle to stop progress.
Hope this helps someone.
Do you guys using the hoist find it easier to quarter deer in the woods versus just doing it on the ground? If so what am I missing? since I got a backpack with meat shelf I’ve been quartering them and packing out but have been doing it on the ground, it seems easier than when I do it at home with them hanging up.
I start at the neck, slice hide to tail then make a slice in the mid towards the belly. This make a front and back flap. I work the front flap off, take the front shoulder, then the backstrap on that side. Work the back flap down and cut the rear quarter off. Make a slice behind last rib and pull tenderloin out. Then flip it over and do it again on other side.

You should do whatever is easier for you for sure.Do you guys using the hoist find it easier to quarter deer in the woods versus just doing it on the ground?

I built a kit similar to this but send the dynaglide. The chain link works quite well, probably not as well as the pulleys but well enough I’ll say. one thing I did was to incorporate a CamJam XT for progress capture. It seems to work well other than to release it at the end can be a bit tricky due to angles. Just walk away from the device similar to the tree when pulling down your rappel rope.If you can see this fellow on You Tube, he made on from pcs of chain that works pretty slick anView attachment 78795
Why don't you just take a rope and tie the other leg off to another tree after you hoist the deer up? It's what I do and it works well.I use the items in the MTS Run & Gun Ultralight Hoist Kit but added an AUSCAMOTEK Gambrel Deer Hoist. It adds another 2 pounds to the kit but it holds the deer securely and I don't need to look for sticks to wedge between the hind legs to separate the hams. This gambrel breaks down into 3 pieces, 1) the 2 piece bar and steel cable (all connected), 2) the bolt that holds the steel bars together, and 3) hand adjusted nut that goes on the bolt. I picked it up on Amazon for $26.00. It states that it will hold up to 550lbs. The bottom block (pulleys), with the loop that would normally go through the slit in one of the back legs now goes on a carabiner and the gambrel attaches to the carabiner. I just started using this setup this season and so far it has handled the deer it's hoisted great. The additional 2 pounds of weight in the pack hasn't been noticeable, yet. Like a lot of others have already said on here, this setup is a lot more comfortable, a lot cleaner, and less hassle than cutting the deer up while its on the ground. Here in the midwest where I mostly hunt, there's no shortage of trees and branches.
Plus this keeps the deer from spinningWhy don't you just take a rope and tie the other leg off to another tree after you hoist the deer up? It's what I do and it works well.
