Just a length of BT rope and a lightweight gambrel will suffice........

If you go to any chandler you can get very light weight high quality pulley's that will self lock.
The gambrel in the picture is David Strettons from Donningto deer management. I think they are about £18 but a bit on the small side for reds, I have used one Fallow Though. The pully shown in the kit I bought recently for £12.50 at a game fair as a spare, it's strong but a bit bulky and won't self lock. David Stretton sells the hooks too but any S hook will do.

Take a look at any on-line dinghy sailing shop ("Chandler"). Take a look at the 'micro' ball bearing block from Harken, Holt Allen, RWO, etc. For sika a 4:1 or 5:1 pulley system with 5mm string is fine. For roe sized deer a 3:1 is adequate. For the rope, buy an supple easy-to-handle rope, rather then a super low stretch one - it's easier on the hands and folds more easily into your jacket pocket.
They also sell simple stainless steel hooks which serve to either hold a gambrel, or can act a a one-leg gambrel (this works brilliantly for me).
If the assembly gets mucky, I just chuck into the washing machine.

It also happens that I sail, so I had a bunch of usable parts sat in my gargage.

All looks good kit but it will work out a lot more expensive than buying one of the kits from http://www.keithshighseats.co.uk/products/stalkersmate/
How smooth does the pulleys need to be for what they are going to be used for?

More importantly, just down the road from Tankerton, home of Valente's ice cream and amusement arcade
