Nice rope for those deep canyons, Hitch that rope to a deer and then the winch and drag like hell. Down here we call that a Paseo Robles deer drag.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-18-15 AT 02:09PM (MST)[p]Back in the early 80's I picked up a spool of 3/8" black nylon rope with the yellow tracer strand in the middle...so I know it came or fell off a PG&E truck leaving the Geysers. So I picked it up and brought it home. Well every year I took it with me hunting and since that time have used it a number of times to retrive a buck down in the gully or off into a revene to drag game out. And over those years, lots of times the piece was cut-off and either left or someone took it with them.
The wood bases that held the spool together had a code number and 2,500 feet of said rope.
Fair guess now I have about 1,200-1,500 feet left but I sure as hell am not going to unwing the spool to measure and see. With the gutless method everyone uses now....who needs rope other than to lash down loads for traveling.

You could use the rope to make a cheap but functional fenced in area.
Set the posts, drill them w/ 1 1/4" bit, run your heavy rope thru the holes all the way around and pull tight with pickup before tieing off the ends.
600' should get you a 5 strand 25' x 30' fenced area for the cost of the posts.
