If you're doing it properly you won't burst anything anyway!
Glad you see my point and have become enlighted to the way of the ground gralloch.

Vote for the suspended gralloch. I find it cleaner with less blood staining in the cavity

Not when you're hoisting 60+Kg up off the ground.Gravity is your friend!
I use a very small pack down cord & mini pulley from a yachting application, one arm would pull 60.

I’m leaving it on the ground and using an enthusiastic son in law to get it to the car. I’ve inveigled the odd guest to lend a hand too. If I’m on my lonesome I don't shoot anything too far from the track but I always leave it on the ground.

Just do what you are best at and remember that there are lots of people stalking in lots of places where a suspended gralloch is impossible. I will add that I have seen a few people that if it is suspended or on the floor it still looks like it was done by a terrier. As long as it is fit to go in the food chain then crack on.

Leave it on the floor, you don't need any pulleys and you can use both arms for something more useful
My knees tell me what to do with shot game.

I do a suspended gralloch about 80% hours f the time. It suits MY stalking as I can usually easily get the car to bigger deer (so don’t need to carry the hoist etc) and roe/muntjac can easily be hung in a tree using S hooks.
I find that my carcasses are cleaner with less blood staining the cavity when I use a suspended gralloch.
Not suggesting that anyone should do the same as me, It’s just what works for ME.
Really you should carry on doing what works for you and not worry about what others find suits them

I like to wrestle on the floor with it, a few leaves and a bit of muck inside saves seasoning when in the pan.
Yep. And dragging it down a peat-enthused burn cleans and adds something no less special!

No mate, you don't get it. If you actually cared to take a breath and read my post you will see that I said "Your field gralloched may be just as good but they certainly cant be better". I can assure you that towing it up a tree with a vehicle is a lot easier on the back and cannot be cleaner or easier! If you could then I'm sure you would too. I'll bet that you hang it up to take the pink stuff out when you get back to the larder. I wonder why that is?
