Deer Hunting
Rope for the back country big game hunter
Uploaded on January 31, 2012For those of us who like to hunt on the other side of the moon, and are concerned about pack weight. The lightest rope that you can pack that also has the most tensile strength is baling twine. Yep, the same stuff found on a bale of hay. As an added bonus if you stop at just about any farmers house you can get a lifetime supply of the stuff for free. (Its already really cheap at the store)

Coming from a family of farmers, never considered anything other than baling twine stuffed in the back pocket of my Woolrich coat. That being said, my twine days met it's Waterloo in 1979 and the fieldwork and packing of my first bull elk. Many busting's of the twine ( Was old, perhaps dri - rotted )on the pack out, re - tying, we got the job done. But that was the end of my twine day's. It's braided 1/4 inch, or braided 3/8 inch line and nothing else
You can't get anything better than 550 paracord, period.
Coyotee is right; 550 cord is the best. I braid the stuff into my binocular strap, and a bunch of other stuff, so I always has some handily. Feel free to cut it to whatever size you need it, a simple blood knot and they are back together.
