We all have plenty of 550 paracord, but it would make life a lot easier if we rigged up some pulleys, right? You can get light weight pulleys with a 2 ton breaking load, that actually weight very little.

Would love to know people's thoughts on this.

I'm thinking of 3 small pulleys for lifting logs, animal carcasses, and things like that.

What are your thoughts?

I had considered this. Some pulleys for use outdoors. Small but robust would be good. I know that "chandlers" stock these type of items for boat rigging. The other posts about winches need putting into a thread about "winches".
The original post is a very useful concept for prepping. These pulleys can be used in a variety of situations and I am sure that somewhere I have seen in a documentary about special forces sometimes using them for crossing rivers. That would mean at least one of the squad must carry some and it is already a tried and tested option. I suspect mountain troops do this also. TL.
