With hunting season in full swing many of us will be out solo hunting big game like elk. Field dressing an elk by yourself is a big job and having a little mechanical advantage can be a huge help. In this video I'll show you several ways to make an ultralight backcountry block and tackle capable of up to 4:1 MA. I'll start by using just paracord to create a theoretical 3:1 Z Rig, then we'll add in a few carabiners to reduce friction and create a more efficient system. Finally I'll use some light weight pulleys for the most efficient lifting system. Using these techniques, most hunters will be able to lift heavy elk quarters and tie them into a tree for better air flow or to get them out of reach of bears and other predators. Since it's very light weight, it's perfect for backpacking or just to have in your hunting day pack. You could even lift an entire whitetail buck for skinning and quartering if you wanted. There's no limit to what you could use these pully systems for in the field.
