Works great as long as the hide isn't hard frozen.
I don't think hard frozen hide is going to be a problem for me unless we start another "little ice age". Most of my hunting this year was in jeans and a t-shirt with an ASAT 3D suit over it.

I do that with every deer that i'm not going to cape out. I tie the rock end to the bottom of my cleaning tree and another rope around the neck up to a pulley then to my truck. I drive away and skin my deer as I lift it. I usually use a 1" socket instead of a rock.
Do you ever have any problems with the hide not coming cleanly off? For instance, tearing muscle tissue off with it? That's the only reason I haven't tried it yet. Now that I know the guy isn't a crack-pot, I'll have to give this a try.
