I love the hoist just wish it didn't weigh so much

Do you fasten it inside your pack, and has it ever gotten fouled by things in your pack.I'm another guy that thinks it's totally worth the 12oz it weighs. I've tried 550 cord and others and nothing is as easy or convenient as the Doyles. Mine stays in my pack with the cord going through a hole in the bottom. When I get to the tree I reach back and grab the cord and hook it to my bow and i'm done. No cord to fiddle with or get tangled.
I drop stuff sometimes. A doyles hoist and a grappling hook let me retrieve it. Another advantage.I gave up on pull ropes, Doyles, and all that jazz, climb with it all on my back
To me it speaks great volumes that @Nutterbuster @flinginairos and @Ontariofarmer all agree the weight is worth it.... y’all probably just sold me on one I’ve never used one I use a hunter safety system hoist it’s small and compact but you have to hand crank it to retrieve it can get tangled bad sometimes and it’s probably just as much to keep up with as a ball of paracord.

I like it so much I do not care about the weight.

I totally agree it's worth it's weight in gold, just would like to lighten the load every where that I canTo me it speaks great volumes that @Nutterbuster @flinginairos and @Ontariofarmer all agree the weight is worth it.... y’all probably just sold me on one I’ve never used one I use a hunter safety system hoist it’s small and compact but you have to hand crank it to retrieve it can get tangled bad sometimes and it’s probably just as much to keep up with as a ball of paracord.

If @Nutterbuster will climb carbon bolts and @flinginairos gets in line for carbon kiwis And they both still carry the Doyle’s hoist the either both lost the nutterbustin minds or it’s worth the weight.
You had to encourage him...What and where are Huck's hoist
