Description
The Hunter’s Specialties Heavy Duty Lift Cord 20 Feet Olive Drab is a simple, tough, and versatile 20-foot length of 550-pound test paracord designed for field use. It’s the unsung hero of a hunter’s or shooter’s kit, perfect for hoisting gear into a tree stand, securing a tarp, bundling items, or serving as a reliable emergency backup. I’ve used similar cordage for years to hang trail cameras and drag deer, and having a dedicated, high-quality piece like this in your pack just makes sense. At $4.31, it’s one of the most cost-effective pieces of utility gear you can own.

Look, the specs tell the story: this is mil-spec compatible cordage you can trust. The 20-foot length is a sweet spot—long enough to be genuinely useful for hoisting a compound bow or a heavy backpack into a stand, but not so long it becomes a tangled mess in your gear bag. The olive drab isn’t just for looks; it blends into wooded environments, keeping your setup discreet. Here’s the thing—while it’s not a complex piece of gear, its reliability is non-negotiable when you’re 15 feet up a tree. This cord is drop-in ready for any task you throw at it, requiring no special prep or tools.
Who This Cord Is For
This lift cord is for the practical outdoorsperson. It’s for the deer hunter who needs a silent, strong way to get their rifle into a lock-on stand. It’s for the waterfowler rigging a blind or retrieving decoys. It’s for the prepper or camper who values paracord’s myriad survival uses. It’s also for the competitive shooter or 3-Gun competitor who might need to quickly secure stages or equipment. If you own a tree stand from Summit or Lone Wolf, this is the cord you want attached to your haul line. It simply works.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Incredibly affordable for the quality. The 550-lb. rating provides massive peace of mind—it’s not some flimsy twine. The olive drab color is functional for concealment. Its versatility is nearly endless, far beyond just lifting gear. It’s compact and adds almost no weight to your kit.
Cons: It’s just a cord—it doesn’t come with carabiners or hooks, so you’ll need to supply your own attachment points. If you need a specific, shorter length, you’ll have to cut it. For pure survival scenarios, some may prefer a full 100-foot hank, but the 20-foot length is perfect for the dedicated, repeatable task of hoisting hunting gear.
Let’s be real: for less than the price of a box of cheap ammunition, you’re getting a tool that increases your efficiency and safety in the field. That’s a return on investment that’s hard to beat. I keep a section in my turkey vest for tying up a fan and beard, and another in my truck for general use. This product is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, making it an easy add-on to any order. Having a trusted, heavy-duty cord on hand prevents you from resorting to iffy alternatives that could fail—and at 20 feet long, you’ll almost always have enough.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this truly strong enough to lift a firearm or a full backpack?
A: Absolutely. The 550-pound test rating means the cord’s core can handle 550 pounds of static weight. Lifting a 10-15 pound rifle or a 30-pound pack is well within its safe working capacity. Always use common sense, secure knots, and inspect your gear, but this cord is overbuilt for typical hunting lift tasks.
Q: Can the inner strands be removed for other uses?
A: Yes, that’s one of the big advantages of true 550 paracord. The outer sheath is durable nylon, and inside are 7 inner strands that can be removed for finer tasks like fishing line, sewing thread, or trip wires. You get multiple tools in one.
Q: Will the olive drab color fade or bleed?
A: Quality paracord like this uses dye-locked coloring. It’s designed for outdoor use, so while any material will weather over years of extreme sun and abrasion, it won’t bleed or fade significantly under normal conditions. It maintains its low-visibility profile season after season.
