First, that is the BOMB for setting presets in the preseason.... LOL

Second, someone needs to invent a bicycle type/peddle propulsion system and you would have a hunters dream!

I think that this is legit...some modern materials and a bit of safety added.... I like this method

Whole lot faster decent than rappelling!! I have used something similar to this but with the wood I used it was still bulky need something smaller and strong!!

The upside-down decent is silly but the way up is good...I haven't actually tried this method but I mess with it 1 day
2 of these and some amsteel and a tether. Off you go :)
I think with modification that probably work good except how bad amsteel frays and catches on the bark
