I have always used a portable strap that goes around the tree and slides up as I climb. I noticed that HSS has a 30' rope they call the Life Line. The web site states that you can leave it in the tree all season long. I have not called the folks at HSS but I wondered what kind of life that rope would have if it hung out in the weather all season long. How often would it need to be replaced if I brought it in at the end of the season? What kind of rope is it? Can I buy it in lengths longer than 30'?
My buddy made the one I use but I don't think it would like being out in the weather for months.
Does anyone have any suggestions for kind of rope to use?
