Anyone make your own, with the Prusik knot? What rope do you use? And where did you buy it? TIA.

Safe Tree Hunt Systems makes top quality life lines, linesmans belts and prusiks for about what it costs to buy the rope yourself. He no longer has a website but I think is on Facebook now. I don't use FB so I can't help there.

6mm beeline cordage from sherrill tree , or treestuff.com with eyes. I prefer a distel hitch over a prusik as it is easier to maneuver with one hand if necessary.

I have made my own, and every ladder stand and hang on stand on my farm has one. I have found, however, that when you consider the cost of the main line, the line for the prussic and a good carabiner, you can buy them cheaper. The cheapest I have found was on the WalMart online store. As I recall, a pack of three was less than $80.
