Title: Home made Game Hoist for use in the Field
Post by: LB_hntr on January 19, 2015, 08:13:00 PM
This is a video of my home made game hoist. Its light weight, takes up zero space and is dirt cheap to make. I plan to use it in my hunting camps and on my back country hunts in bear country as well as if i have to leave any animals or quarters over night in heavy coyote country.

A lot cheaper than pulleys, and no problem with the paracord getting caught between the roller and frame of a pulley.  I like it.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Well, if anyone needs in the next couple of  hours, I'll be in the garage playing with rope and chain links.  I
I am easy to entertain.

Thanks guys! Im glad you like it.

Its a pretty slick system! I had a buddy over here and was showing him. We tested it by me lifting him with it. He weighs 220 and I could do it. The paracord streched quite a bit but i got him 3 feet in the air before he started whining about wanting down.
 Im excited to use it in camp and the field this season.

The only part that is a pain in the rear end is the initial cutting of the rope lengths. it takes a few minutes to figure out how long to make the ropes and get it all figured out. Once that is done its a breeze to set up and break down.

Great idea.  Good tree stand thinking material. I wonder if it could be done with just pcs of cord used for the chain links if you were caught in a bind?

Tedd,
I actually experimented with using the rope in place of the chain links but the friction was huge and it didnt work any better than just throwing a rope over a branch. So the chain links are the best way i found.

It's a fantastic idea.  I'm a  tinkering kind of guy too, if you used those threaded quick links you could open then up from the side and wouldn't have to pull your rope through all the links.  Essentially you could load the rope from the side, good if you have a long piece of rope to work with.  But for something short like a game hoist I think this the chain is a good way to go.

Hey, youre a sharp guy!  Nice idea.  I'm going to file that one away for next time I go elk hunting, would work slick for quarters.

If you ever get down to Indiana you are welcome to stop by and clean up my barn for me too  :)

Wow, a simple block and tackle system.  Ingenuous.  Much less weight than actual pulleys.    Have you tried static cord in place of paracord?  I would imagine the latter has quite a bit more stretch.

LB_hnter - can you explain the threading on the line a bit more? If I'm understanding the video correctly :

1. The pulling line is attached in the middle of the 2 links on the top pulley system.
2. Then line comes down and threads through the lower link on the right.
3. Line goes back up and through the upper link on right.
4. Line comes down and threads through the lower pulley on left.
5. Line goes up and threads through the upper pulley on
right.
6. The line that comes down is the working pull line.

It seems that by attaching the pull line in the middle of the 2 pillows a line will cross. Or is that a none issue?

Hey LB_hntr, This is perfect. Thx for posting. I found everything I need to make the hoist right in my garage.

Also, I just wanted to say congrats on your 100 TBH&W podcast. I've listened to just about all of the during my commute into NYC.
Always lots of helpful and useful info.

I was building one of these in my garage, and was struck by a repurpose of this great idea.  I did not change much other than a quick release and levitating rope.


 Now I have a hoist for hoisting and holding my tree stands in place!
