New gear 2026 edition….

I’ve used metal rings before. They always seem to find a way to make noise in my pack and this seems to be less pieces, lighter & quieter while being capable of hoisting any deer I will ever kill to make the boning process at the site of the kill easier and cleaner.

Those are the boxes I will be looking to check. I’ll let you know what I find out after it arrives.

Arsenal posted pictures on website of their new 6mm linesman. Anyone got any thoughts as to what it’s made of? Sheathed dyneema?
 
Evolution Outdoors will have a new index release coming out around March-ish and an update for their thumb button release.
 
Shape is a little different. It has a curve that comes over fingers a bit. Very clean trigger and will have a few different springs for tension.

I'm Doing Something I Shouldn't Do...​
We've had incredible advances over the last week and a half. Our new Nylon Injection Molded Game & Gear Hoist is in the works AND we've begun pre-orders for our Aluminum Frame HD.

So I'm going to do something I shouldn't do. For those of you who purchased the Initial Release of the G&G, I'm going to give you an opportunity to upgrade. Our first release of the Game & Gear Hoist was awesome, and it's durable and does the job. But I feel some responsibility to tell you, as the owner and developer, we've come up with something better and it's moving FAST.

I'd feel bad if DAYS after you clicked "Check Out" you missed out on a new revision with a higher weight rating.

If you purchased the PETG Game & Gear Hoist and you're interested in upgrading to the Nylon version (deliveries expected to ship end of April,) please respond to this email or reach out to support@ravenequipt.com. We'll put you on the list and we'll ship as soon as they arrive from our molding partners.​

The upgrade to Nylon is free of charge. I’m not interested in Aluminum. Looks like there won’t be any further updates until May at the earliest…..

New 7mm tether as well. The glide device seems to be some sort of micro/nano pulley. Wish I could buy just it..
Yea it’s basically acting like a micro version of a climb pulley that arborists use for tending. It’ll be a poor man’s tender on steroids. And the only way they are going to get the type of break strength on ropes that small would be with a dyneema core.

Thanks buddy, that’s exactly what I was thinking. I wonder what material they are using for the sheathing .

Based on the color and texture of the 7mm micro tethers they sent for Saddle Flaooza, I would guess it’s a polyester sheath, perhaps polyester/technora blend. It feels a lot like oplux just smaller diameter
