- What if I told you that you could ditch your ropeman mechanical ascender and shave off a half pound and considerable bulk. Well, you can! The Wild Line Ropes Hitch does just the trick!
Order it here: www.wildlinero...
Just got mine in today. I assumed it came with a carabiner but it does not. Can't wait to try it out
These are the ones I use:

@@reviveoutdoors4him thank you
Smooth as butter! That’s what you want to see.
All day. Every day!
This is legit! I love mine. Easy one hand op. I strongly recommend
@@richrappa7906 happy to hear it!
For rappel or tether rope, this is fine. But you want run a stiffer, thicker rope for your Linesman.
Mine just came in! Man it’s sweet
I love it!
was a about to pull the trigger but site says not weight rated for climbing and you should be tethered to tree when using this.
Yep, it’s because everyone gave him a hard time on going through the proper safety channels. He has tested it to a very high weight rating. I trusted it all season and loved it
Just ordered one, looks like a great option
I used it several times this weekend on our velvet hunt in Tennessee and loved it!
How did you like it?
@@misupercooner I like it but it’s also so thin it likes to get caught on the tree bark. If you pay attention it’s not bad.
@@silentassassin1108 thanks!
Great review but mine is different than yours. Yours has a big loop so you can easily pass your carabineer through. Mine has a tiny loop. So the only way I could girth hitch the left side on is if I disconnect the carbineer from the loops every time. Pretty annoying
Thanks for the comment!
Shoot me some pics on Instagram or Facebook. I don’t quiet understand what you mean but may be able to help.

@@reviveoutdoors4him you girth hitched the rope to your saddle on your left side. The loop in your rope looks to be 5 inches wide or more. Mine only has maybe an in wide gap. So I cannot pass the carbineer through it to girth hitch it
@@Deerpoo22 I just leave mine attached to my left side at all times. Then stuff it in my left pouch when not in use. Are you wanting to take it completely on and off each time you use it?
Is the hitch the same as the featherlite lineman rope? Just got the featherlite in, looks and acts the same. Damn fine product.
Yes it is. He changed the name on me after I made the video 🤣
@@reviveoutdoors4him gotcha, wish I'd watched your video before I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how the knot works. It's awesome once I figured it out.
@@BoudinMessiah88 🤣 it happens! Good luck this season!
What kind of friction hitch knot is used for this product?
What ascender is used with the lineman’s rope in the video?
The mechanical ascender is a Ropeman. The other one is from Wild Line Ropes.
Line is too thin for a rope man. Test it. You’ll see.
Can this be used as a tether? I hunt with a rock climbing harness so it wouldn’t be tight it would need to take shock with a fall.
No sir. This is what I use as a tether. th-cam.com/video/ZJQFZSlwYJ8/w-d-xo.html
@@reviveoutdoors4him cool review, so why could this not be used as a tether as well?
@@huntingmississippi3113 it’s not rated for the force of a fall. In short, a lineman’s belt fall when ascending/descending is less force than a tethered fall in the stand.
Will this be the only rope you’re using with that killdeer setup? Is there another that performs like a tether ?
I will use this as my lineman’s belt and then I have an amsteel tether. I always keep two options on me so I can go around limbs if needed.
Will. There. Be. A. Link

It’s also in the description. 😎👍
A little too concerning for me that WLR does NOT consider this lineman's rope a life safety device, and it seems to be recommended as a back up only. Safety first, so I wouldn't trust my life with this as a lineman's rope.
Thank you for the comment!
What length do you reccomend
I just ordered the standard length. I am unsure of what length it comes in.
Dude the whole idea of the other rope is it’s stiff and heavier so you can “throw” it up when ascending, if you just value tiny use fishing line.
Thousands of people like the “fishing line” for their lineman’s belt. 😎👍
I'm 260 lbs is it safe to climb
For climbing it is, but it’s not recommended for a tether.
@@reviveoutdoors4him awesome thank you
@@danielwiggins3747 absolutely! You’re welcome!
Why not just use 550 cord?
@@jimmiefulghum6251 it’s not rated for the weight of a fall
What size is the lineman’s ?
I believe it’s 6mm.
Is that amsteel hitch?
The hitch is made of amsteel.
Pretty sure that just 3mm Accessory Cord.
Nice! I need this. Do you have a link for a tree tether as well?

Nice setup but its $75 not under $50 last time I checked.
At the time this video was originally posted it was accurate. We have no control over price changes past the upload date. Thanks for watching!
Does it still tighten easy after weight put on it? Is a tender needed/included? Thanks!
Yes it works very smooth. The only thing you need in addition to it is your carabiner.
Rated for only 300lbs.. dude be careful. That is not good if you slip off a step when climbing your body weight falling will be putting a force on that lineman’s rope that could be double your own weight..
That’s what I was just going to say I like the idea but I’m good with only 300 pound rating
300 pounds is the working load limit (WLL), not the minimum breaking strength (MBS), which typically has a 10:1 safety factor applied to it, so the minimum breaking strength is actually 3,000 pounds. But in order to qualify for fall protection certification, is has to be able to withstand at least 5,000 pounds of force.
Not for me,shouldn’t at least be climbing grade.
Would never trust just 300 lbs
