Wild Country Ropeman 1 Ascender

3RD ROPEMAN PERFECT FOR ANY TRAD / SPORT RACK ASCENDING OR DESCENDING USED AS A PRUSIK INCREDIBLY STRONG AND DURABLE (DROPPED ON OVER 500FT AND BOUNCED LOTS OFF OF LIMESTONE ROCKS!)

In 280 pounds and was skeptical of this at first but it really changes the way you go up and down a tree and sitting in a saddle. I tested the strength of this at ground level and pushed away from the tree w all my strength and it didn’t budge at all! Will be buying a second for my tether

Use these for hunting from a sling. Wouldnt leave home without it!

First time using one...still getting the feel for it.but so far works good

Works great for saddle hunting!

I have used a variety of prussic hitches while deer hunting from a saddle & most of them, (Blakes Hitch, Distel Hitch, Klemheist Hitch, Valdotain Tresse & the universal 3 wrap Prussic Hitch) have all worked accordingly but if you want a device that will lock you into position & not slowly begin to creep down your 11mm nylon static rope then I adamantly suggest that you purchase a Ropeman #1 mechanical prussic device. I have been silently positioned in a tree for up to (5) hours at a time & not once did I have any rope creep issues with the Ropeman #1 mechanical prussic device. If you are overly worried about the device slowly slipping down the rope (your tether or bridge) then just tie an overhand knot below the Ropeman #1 mechanical prussic device or just tie the remaining rope from your tether into a figure 8 knot on a bight & then reclip that figure 8 knot on a bight back into the carabiner that is on your tether. I have not seen any detrimental or long term side effects from using the Ropeman #1 mechanical device on any of my ropes. Just remember that when adjusting your body weight always take the pressure of your body weight off of the rope then adjust your Ropeman #1 mechanical prussic device whether it is on your Bridge, Linemans Belt or Tether as needed in any direction up or down. I have spent a rather exorbitant amount of money trying to find a device that will securely attach my 185 pound frame onto a tree as well as keeping me silently positioned for a rather protracted period of time & the Ropeman #1 mechanical prussic device meets & exceeds all of my expectations when it comes to deer hunting safely, efficiently & effectively from 24 feet up in a tree. Just for the record my favourite ropes of choice for saddle hunting are the Sterling Tri-Tech, Sterling Tech Eleven, Sterling HTP Addiction Static & the Yale Kernmaster Safari. All of these ropes I utilise in the 11mm size. They say that a man shows who he is by what he does with what he has & what I have is a mechanical device that has let me harvest numerous deer & return home safely so that I can reap the benefits of my rewards from a successful as well as safe hunt.

I own 2 of the OS Orange models for my saddle hunting tree tether and linesman rope. They are so much easy to adjust than using a prusik knot! I use 11mm kernmantle rope with it and I haven’t had any issues.

Perfect product. I bought another one cause I liked the first one so much. Hunting is Life!

No words can truly express the relief of having this tool. Handy, lightweight, and easy to operate.

Works great. Much heavier than I expected. Feels like quality you can count on.
