We don't carry that much rope but pulleys and rope make hanging the bear bag a one person job. |

CAUTION - I completely agree that pulleys and mechanical leverage make hanging a food bag easy. DO NOT USE THE CAST ALUMINUM pullys from the hardware store. They can and will break under a heavy load, dropping your food - hard. I splurged and bought small sail boat pulleys - not only do the hold up under the weight, they have internal bearings to facilitate the process. |

I picked up a small climbing pulley from REI. Also has bearings in it and is fairly light. |

A caribiner makes a good pulley. Locking ones can guarantee to stay closed. Can take all the weight you might put on it, built to stop a mountaineer's fall. 5-10 gets you a good quality 'biner |
