Tired of packing in a heavy tree stand system? This episode of Gear'd Up North is a must-listen for every mobile hunter, saddle hunter, and hunter who climbs! We sit down with Justin Campbell, the owner of Wild Line Ropes, who shares his journey from lugging a heavy climber in the Alabama hills to engineering some of the most innovative, ultra-light ropes in the industry.

Justin breaks down the science of rope strength, explaining why materials like Dyneema (AmSteel) are vital for creating tethers that are stronger than steel yet light enough to float. He also dives into the importance of Technora for friction hitches, ensuring maximum safety by resisting heat under load.
