MP.... his new food pack hanging rig that weighed in at just over 2lb's with three pulleys and cord.

Magic and I discussed this at some length with Magic's engineering and physics experience teaching me quite a bit. As a result of our campfire classroom I reworked my bear hanging kit to come in at 1.4 lbs and a tested weight limit of 90 lbs. It uses a double pulley and a single pulley, 100 feet of 1/4" and 100 feet of 3/16" poly braid. Needless to say you need gloves to hoist 90 lbs with this type of cord. But it works and has more than halved the weight of my food hanging kit.
Thanks Magic.
