Wild Country Ropeman 1 Ascender

They are nice and so what they need to do

This is a great tool for climbing. I like it better than a prusik knot.

Best product on the market, great stopping strength, and easy to use.

Super light compact ascender that does what its supposed to.

If you saddle hunt. This is one of the best item you can ever get for your saddle set up. A must have.

Great product!

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.

I made a linemans belt for hanging and pulling treestands. It works great, light weight, and can use one hand to lengthen or shorten rope. Awesome!

Ease of use and install

Worth every penny. This device will save you so much aggravation. Super easy to use.
