I use everything to camo rope to the bow hoist ropes to curtain cord.
I have a lot of stands
My least favorite are the thin camo ropes with the cheesy metal clips. They clip on ok but are a pain to unclip. The thin rope make it hard to pull my bow and pack(I pack too much stuff) up and then when you go to let it down the rope wants to burn thru your gloves!
I like the curtail cord because it has a rougher texture and is easier to haul the load up and down
The camo nylon rope works best
