There’s a moment in the field when strength stops being the answer.
The pack is heavy. The day is long. The tree limb is high. You can muscle through it, sure—but every experienced hunter, backpacker, and angler eventually learns the same lesson: leverage beats effort every time.
That moment is exactly why we built the Game & Gear Hoist.

A Smarter Way to Lift in the Backcountry
The Game & Gear Hoist is a compact, lightweight block-and-tackle system designed to lift heavy packs, food, and gear into elevated positions with control and efficiency. Using three integrated loops per block, the system delivers a true 6:1 mechanical advantage, turning difficult lifts into smooth, manageable motion.
Less strain on your body. More control over your load. Fewer mistakes at the end of a long day.
This isn’t about making things easier for the sake of comfort. It’s about working smarter so your energy stays where it matters.
Built for Real Conditions, Not
the Catalog
Every material choice was made with the backcountry in mind.
The blocks are molded from high-density polyethylene thermoplastic, chosen for its strength, impact resistance, and weight savings. Unlike bare metal, it won’t corrode, won’t sap heat from your hands in cold conditions, and handles repeated use without fatigue.
All hardware is 304 stainless steel, paired with coated fasteners to resist rust and weather exposure. Rain, snow, humidity—this system is meant to live outside, not get babied between trips.
Quiet operation was also non-negotiable. No ratchets. No clicking. No unnecessary noise when it matters most.

Designed to Earn Its Place in Your Pack
We don’t believe in gear that rides along “just in case.” If something goes into your pack, it needs to justify its weight every single trip.
The Game & Gear Hoist earns that place by solving multiple real-world problems:
Hoisting heavy packs at camp
Hanging food safely and efficiently
Managing awkward or dense loads
Reducing physical strain after long miles
It packs small, rigs quickly, and works with standard rope systems. No batteries. No gimmicks. No learning curve that requires a manual.
Why We Built It
We’re not chasing trends or mass production for the sake of volume. Every product we release is guided by function, durability, and long-term reliability. If a feature doesn’t serve a clear purpose, it doesn’t make the cut.
The Game & Gear Hoist exists because lifting heavy gear is a common problem—and brute force is rarely the best solution.
This is a tool built to be used, trusted, and relied on season after season.
The Right Tool at the Right Time
At the end of the day, the Game & Gear Hoist isn’t about making the outdoors softer. It’s about respecting the reality of hard use and giving yourself an advantage when it counts.
Leverage is one of the oldest tools there is. We just refined it for modern backcountry use.
The Game & Gear Hoist is now available.Built for weight. Built for weather. Built to last.
