Maybe just flake it into the bed of a dedicated pickup :lol:.

600' of 3/4 samson fits in a huge (40 gals.) heavy duty plastic garbage can.
My old boss had us pack that thing everywhere.
Uphill, downhill, sidehill.
Sure made me appreciate tossing rounds on my back.

If you roll it up on an old wire reel it's much easier to handle . I have two reels with 600 each of 1" 3 strand nylon .
We got a new 100 fathom [600 feet ] of 3/4" Samsom braided at work and it came in on a reel .

When I had 600' of 3/4" I kept it in a Rubbermaid tub.

Last time I had 600' on a spool, I cut it into 120-150' lengths. :D

I made a long speed line for moving wood out of a back yard.

No need in 30 years for a line like that, for me.

Could one person lift up 600 feet of 3/4"?

Good question.

i know pulling 5/8 CABLE up a tree to hook to a pull tree is a pita
cant imagine the weight of that rope if it got wet.

Sure, it's not THAT heavy, about 110lbs.

I don't think it weighs quite that much does it ? Shucks I can lift it no problem,reel ,dereeler and all and I'm an old duffer . Just for kicks I'll look it up .

I am going to cut it into 200'lengths rigging down this pondo between houses..

Carl didn't miss it too far at 110 pounds .I didn't think it was that much .I must be stronger than I think I am .:?

Don't rightfully plan on it, either :P
Al, it's actually 108lbs + the reel, I rounded up. People such as ourselves don't look at something trying to figure out what it weighs, we just pick it up and leave the bean counting to that fawkin interweb expert.:evil::P

Carl, you're young and spunky, and good for ya! At some point though, it goes from can I lift it or not, to do I want to lift it or not. That's using your head too. I'm not quite there, but I see it coming :(

I bought a mini a couple years back, and a FEL for the tractor 4 years ago ;)

I wonder what the dimensions of that would work out to?

Simple calculation comes out to 37.5 square feet. That doesn't account for any loss due to overlap from weaving or knot tying.
