Anyone familiar with and/or machine Acetal?

I forgot to upload this video when we got it finished. This was filmed with the cheap snatch blocks we bought from Tractor supply, they were neither smooth or quiet but they allowed for proof of concept. The finished trolleys are much quieter and smoother, easily stealthy enough not to alert any deer in the area as long as we take it slow. Very pleased with how the project turned out, we'll likely add one more rope bridge about a half mile south of this one next year.

Just curious, why did you choose a wire rope instead of a Kevlar core line? The Kevlar cored line would be quieter.

I had the wire rope in the garage from a winch I bought earlier this year

Whatever it takes.

I throw no stones in that regard.

Seen a lot of things hunting, never have seen that.

Always thought it would be interesting to have a rig like that strung through the woods at stand height so you could move around.

The creek I have to cross as dropped a bunch since Monday. That was the first day I thought I would drive my truck across and not get all wet. Was a little nervous when the water came over the hood. It kept going, and that is how I have been crossing all week. Thankfully it has not been over the hood more than once. Might need a snorkel.

Oops. Followed Phylodog and posted in the wrong thread.
