RE: Pull up Rope?
I use a thin heavy duty nylon rope. I have it cut to 35' length and I use about 36" to tie off my bow and tie the band ends on my stand. I tie my band ends off on my loogy because to keep thm quiet. You know you up there when your next move begins to lift you bow off the ground.

RE: Pull up Rope?
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

I just buy those little camo ropes with the plastic clasps on the ends. Do you have Academy's there? Most places sell them. Maybe even Walmart. Like this http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0033048417007a&type=product&cm Cat=search&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=pull+up+rope&N=4887 &Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1& amp;Ntt=pull+up+rope&noImage=0

Best 24.99 I have ever spent!!! Bought mine season before last, it was 20' long then...perfect! when I felt tension from the bow weight it was time to tie in and hunt...lets out automatically as you climb and retracts automatically as you pull your bow up to the stand====no tangles!!!

RE: Pull up Rope?
Heck I just use a black cord that goes about 20-25 feet in length. It''s got clips on each end of it. Don't remember where I came up with it at but it's worked for me. Whenever I want to wind it up, I just find a twig on the ground, snap it off to the correct size, and wind my cord around it. Then I just throw it in my pack/pocket for later.
The walmart camo rope would do the trick too.

Here's one a lil different! I use a simple 20ft. clothesline style cord that i wrap electrical tape around to make it a lil stiffer! Works great and the tape keeps it from knotting and twisting al up!
