I planned to follow my eldest brother's example and untie it with a knife!

First I switched to paracord because it's lighter per foot than the braided cord you find at Wallyworld but it snags when running over a branch. Even with paracord I always wrap a few loops around a stick and use that to haul with.

You bring up good points, I'll try hauling a couple of gallons of water up a tree at home before heading out. I'm also concerned about it cutting thru the bark and plan to abandon the idea if it does.

Thanks,
