Wild Country Ropeman 1 Ascender

Must have for saddle hunting. Do leave home with out it.

Im looking to use this for deer hunting. I ordered one to be used on a lanyard, and liked it so much that I ordered a second one for ascending/descending a full lifeline. While practicing at low heights, assuming a hunters safety line to the ground, these work great. I want to know that, in the event of a fall, I can safely perform a self-rescue and I definitely can with these. I tried using the HSS prusik knot for descending, but found that I couldnt get it to slide once loaded with my full body weight. If I take at least one of these with me ( with an extra climbing carabiner and my suspension relief strap ), then I know that I can relieve the tension from the prusik and utilize it in combination with the Ropeman1 to inch-worm my way down the rope. Otherwise, youll have to learn how to climb a rope using the old brake and squat, like a Navy Seal or a Marine. If you hunt from an elevated position, please use a safety rope, and please take the time to figure out ( and test ) a method to get to the ground safely. In my personal opinion, all hunter safety systems still need to catch up with the standards that climbers and arborists utilize, and the Ropeman a step in that direction.

Bought this for my saddle hunting set up. Love them easy to make one hand adjustment while hunting have a second one on my lineman belt performance is awsome

This ascender is Perfect for a 10mm linemans rope. Ive used it while setting climbing sticks and hang on tree stands. Easy one hand adjustments and very light weight.

Works like it should

the best

Works good

Upgraded the prussick knot on my lineman belt and tether for my tree saddle with 2 of these. Literal game changer for climbing. I would recommend to anyone using a lineman belt to try one. No more needing 2 hands to move a knot or take up slack.

Works better than I expected. So happy I bought it. Its well worth every penny. Ascending and descending trees is a breeze now.

Great addition to my saddle hunt set up highly recommended over prusik knot.
