    Have done this, would recommend. You can get some crazy light dyneema rope (~5mm) and some tiny multiple pulley blocks at a yachting shop, the whole set-up is smaller than a can of beer and will hold...

    It was one of those things I put together when I started hunting, then never used because it was just more crap to carry. I tested it on my son who was about 5 years old at the time and it worked...

    I've got the same, and have it mounted on a plate with holes and chains as a poor mans winch on motorbike. Can attach it front or rear.
