Featherlite Linemans Rope
The featherlite linemans rope is in a class of its own. The climb rated Back Up Line by Beal is rugged yet lightweight. What makes this linemans rope possible is the fact that you can use it one handed to adjust. Yep! no pricey hand ascenders needed. The WLR friction hitch is small, compact, and clean. Giving you everything you want from a friction hitch with hardly any weight or bulk added. As of 9/23/22 the Featherlite linemans ropes features a 1/8" Technora friction hitch.

Put the Linemans belt to use hanging stands and didnt have any luck getting the knot to slide with one handed use when adjusting the length. This is the main reason I bought this model as its advertised as easy one handed adjustment? Maybe im doing something wrong? Is there a secret?
I’m a long time user of 11mm saddle ropes and ropeman one ascenders. I then swapped to smaller diameter ropes and kong ducks. These featherlite ropes blow them all out of the water! No need for mechanical devices anymore. 1/3 of the size and true one handed operation. Top quality carabiners as well! My only regret is not buying them sooner!
Really impressed with how small this setup is compared to my previous. I’m able to condense all my saddle hunting essentials into one pouch which leaves my second for nothing but miscellaneous items (scents, rattle bag, grunt call, etc). Have only made a few climbs with it so I can’t speak on durability but I don’t see that being an issue.
This is exactly what I was looking for to streamline my mobile setup! I have been mobile for 5 plus years now and continually try and reduce my weight/bulk for my style of hunting. (Still/slip hunting to areas then setting up). It offer functionality while not taking up near to anything for space/weight. I am excited to see what other stuff Wild Line Ropes has cooking.
Just tried it on a tree, not hunted with it yet. The knot is easy to push and pull for now. Not sure yet about the long haul but hope it stays easy because I like it a lot. Looking for a compact pouch for my saddle to stuff this in. It can pack really small.
