Deer extraction….. options

[devon deer stalker]

How much does that all weigh, out of interest?

If you can't get a quad to site you have to factor in the weight of the rope, I use around 140m but coil it into a rucksack so I can put it on my back and carry the capstan winch to site.

@tattie I also use a snatch block for change of direction with my capstan.

For tricky bits I use 8mm non stretch rope and climbing block and tackle. One double pulley one locking double pulley. Sledge helps to bit with some wax on the runners. Chainsaw with capstan winch has its uses but the block and tackle is more useful and lighter

Hi, how much effort is needed using something like this?

As DDS said about the snatch block.

I also have a snatch block and 50m of the braid on braid polyester and a further 50m of 6mm Dyneema (spelling?) in a rucksack type rope bag, the strop is in there also. it goes on the front rack of the bike.

If I think I would need more rope I would take the additional hanks of braid on braid and heavier Dyneema with me on the bike.

It really depends if it’s a shitty block and tackle it’s almost useless… if it’s nice ball bearing climbing gear it’s fantastic you can lift 100kg with ease (get one double pulley with a one way catch and one straight double pulley)

Non stretch rope is a must though.
