What hook or grabber are you guys using in your pull ropes? How do you like ut?
Same here.I have a small loop of paracord permanently tied to my bow, then just clip my pull rope to the loop with an S-biner

NiteIze s-binerI was really referring to the hooks people tie on the rope to hook stuff on the ground while in the tree.
I use 550 cord with a Figure 9 at one end and a 20kN climbing biner at the other. My reasoning is, you never know if you need a back up length of paracord, a Figure 9, or a back up biner. I loop the Figure 9 end of the pull rope through my molle on my Phantom and with the larger throat of the biner, it allows me to clip my bow and camera up. I wear my bag as I climb, secure everything at height and pull up my cam and bow. This is when the Figure 9 sometimes comes in handy, if another tree is near me, I will use the paracord and Figure 9 to secure my pack to the opposing tree to break up my profile to reduce my chances of being sky-lined. Then I tuck fir/cedar limbs in the 550 to break up the profile of my pack. Hope this helps!What hook or grabber are you guys using in your pull ropes? How do you like ut?

That doesn't answer his question. I think everyone is aware you climb SRT.I climb SRT so it is easy to descend and then re-ascend.
Scratch my comment on my set-up I misunderstood as well. Interesting idea though.Gotcha. Other than trying really hard not to drop anything... I suppose the hook end of a ratchet strap could work

Squid hooks?I keep a Silent Retriever in my pack. Has saved me a climb down more than once, including the time I forgot to hook my bow up to my Doyle's Gear hoist.
