pull-up rope

I use a doyles connected to my saddle to pull up my bow and I use 30' of 4mm accessory cord as a pull up for my pack and as a pull down for my rappel rope. I used dynaglide as a pull down but couldn't use it to raise and lower my pack without it digging into my hands. The 4mm accessory cord is small enough to pack down but also thick enough to raise and lower my pack

Have not tried the repel method yet but thinking about giving it a try.

Once I did it, I was hooked and knew I’d be! I tried pulling up my bow back when I used three sticks, but after losing 2 of my 4 arrows trying to get the paracord out of briars, I was done! Now I climb with my bow on my pack. Wearing everything, I just carry my 1 stick. I do lower my bow and attach that cord to my link to help pull my rope down.

35' of 6mm Sterling accessory cord all the way here! It's easy to handle, doesn't really tangle, and is rated heavy enough to suffice for possible emergency used, it also could be used for a multitude of purposes (from hanging a deer to quarter/debone to a easily manageable rappel retrieval line). I'm willing to sacrifice a little in the compact storage department, although I personally think that the benefits outweigh the negatives.

My first quality hitch cord was the Beal cordellette 5.5mm. I have thought about getting a bunch of that and doing similar things for the same reasons. That spool of 1/8” amsteel would also work nicely. I bought a big spool of 750 paracord for presets and use it for my let down and retrieve assist line.

I do like the idea of switching from my 550 cord over to 6mm accessory cord for it's multi-use capabilities. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks

I have tied a lot of different pull up ropes, straps etc. over the years.
For me the 3mm accessory cord is a good "compromise" between bulk and comfort, and non tangling.
Not too small for pulling up gear and comfortable for dropping down gear, and does not take up alot of room in the pack.
It is also a good size for retrieving my repel line
