Instead of tying the cord to the rock, why not put a weight into a small stuff sack and tie it closed with the cord?

Simplicity...it's one less thing I have to worry about getting "hung up" in the tree.

If your "rock" sticks in the tree and you pull hard to get it out and it does finally come out, it can hit you as hard David hit Goliath. It could severely injure you as it will be coming very fast. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> The solution in that situation is to pull the cord around yet another tree and pull from an angle so when it does come loose, it won't be aimed at you. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I have been hit.

Good tip. I have pulled on a hung up rock, and had it pop out and come at me before.
